I'm afraid I haven't got time to properly look at your code, but don't
forget that the cartesian product is associative. That is:

  (A × B) × C = A × (B × C)

and either of these two makes sense for the cartesian product of three
sets. In your case, this means that

  { 1 2 } { 3 4 } { 5 6 } cartesian-product cartesian-product

will almost do what you want (it's the right hand side of the equation
above). But the nesting won't be quite right, since you'll have elements
that look like { 1 { 3 5 } }, so you can fix that with something like

  [ first2 first2 ] map

I think (untested).
