Confusion with Multi level Master detail relationships?

In salesforce tutorial, it is written that an custom object which is a detail in an master detail relationship cannot be a master in another master detail relationship. But this is not working. I am able to create more than one level of master detail relationships? Is it an updated feature in salesforce? 

 

Scenario:- i have a object test 1 which is master of object test 2.  Now obj test2 is again the master of obj test 3. Obj test3 is again the master of obj test4.

 

Also can a custom object which is a child of a standard object, be the master of another object ? If yes how many levels are possible?

This was introduced in spring 10 . Prior to this, we could not have multi-level Master-detail relationships.
This idea was translated into a release enhancement
