What is the definition of re-export ?

Thanks for your question.

Here are the details about the question.

1. On hostA, I export a directory <dirA>.
2. I mount this dirA on hostB at mount point <dirB>.
3. Can I export <dirB> to any other host like hostC?

why not mount dirA at hostC?

Simple answer is no .
But you can write fuse gateway an re-export directory , or you can use products like Acopia
