In general that doesn't really matter!  For example these queries all
return the same results:

  SELECT * FROM a, b WHERE a.n = b.n;

  SELECT * FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.n = b.n;

  SELECT * FROM a CROSS JOIN b WHERE a.n = b.n;

  SELECT * FROM a INNER JOIN b ON TRUE WHERE a.n = b.n;

In your case there are probably a couple of reasonable choices.  Because
they're all just inner joins, I'd use the old fashioned cross syntax:

  SELECT *
  FROM pay p, ship s, paytypes pt, shiptypes st
  WHERE p.typeid = pt.typeid
AND s.typeid = st.typeid
AND p.methodid = 1
AND s.methodid = 1;

If you want to use JOIN syntax, you could do something like:

  SELECT *
  FROM
pay  p INNER JOIN paytypes  pt ON p.typeid = pt.typeid,
ship s INNER JOIN shiptypes st ON s.typeid = st.typeid
  WHERE p.methodid = 1
AND s.methodid = 1;

Or you could do something completely different!

 I can make it work renouncing to one *t.Name changing the order of
 the FROM tables and skipping one join... but I can't have in one run
 all I need.

From my understanding of SQL join syntax, the above is parsed as:

FROM pm,((sm inner join st) inner join pt)

which means that pm isn't in scope when doing the inner join on pt.
Perhaps this would owrk:

FROM sm inner join st inner join pt inner join pm

Have a nice day,

one of the inner join doesn't have an on relationship.

As you could see in the other (longer) query I'm just trying to put in
the same row what would be

select 1,
t.Name, m.Name, m.MethodID, m.Description
from shop_commerce_shipmethods m
inner join shop_commerce_shiptypes t on m.TypeID=t.TypeID
where m.MethodID=1

+

select 1,
t.Name, m.Name, m.MethodID, m.Description
from shop_commerce_paymethods m
inner join shop_commerce_paytypes t on m.TypeID=t.TypeID
where m.MethodID=1

I don't want it to get it with a union since pay and ship are
associated.

The natural way to get them in one row would be to get the table
that link them shop_commerce_baskets as in the longer query.

But that query contains a lot of unions and loop etc... and I'd be
curious to see if fetching ShipMethodOnStockID, PayMethodOnStock, ...
in advance and using the above queries would make the query plan
simpler...

I'm attaching the query plan of the longer query since it is too
nested to just get pasted.

The scope of the exercise would be to avoid 2 scans of the
shop_commerce_baskets table.

Could you get what you want by cross joining the first two tables?
