Say I have the following
$f1=/some/path
$f2=/some/subpath
$f3=/some/other/subpath
If I try:
test1=${$f1/$f2/${f3:t}}
zsh complains with bad substitution.
However:
test2=${f3:t}
works well. What am I doing wrong?

The problem is with the extra $ in front of f1. Try:
test1=${f1/$f2/${f3:t}}

${file:t:r}is how to combine modifiers in parameter expansions.${file:t:r}removes the path and removes the extension fromfile.
