Hi Guido,
not sure if multiple nested foreign properties can work at all.
A foreign property is just a link to another property. The property itself doesn´t store any information and is empty in the database. When you now reference to this "empty" property, Innovator will not see any data. But I have to admit that I never have tried this one on my own.
As alternative you maybe can use the Federated DataType and use a Method to populate the data.

Out of interest I made a quick test in my Innovator 12.
I added a foreign property "test" in Manufacturer Part to link a property from Manufacturer to Manufacturer Part.
Then I added a foreign property in Part AML to link the "test" property from Manufacturer Part into "Part AML". This one worked for me!
