Yes. There is no default composition between verbs in expressions such as
   verb2 verb1 noun
Tacit phrases don't involve removing an implicit relationship between the
two verbs in such expressions. There is no relationship between verbs,
there. Instead, there are two instances of relationship between a verb and
a noun.

Where there is default (i.e. positionally determined) composition among
verbs is when verbs form verb trains.
