It's a question of precedence.

select * from a,b join c ...

is execute in the order of

b join c

then a join that result.  By the way, this is how the sql spec says to do it.

So, you can't join b to c based on anything from a, because a hasn't
been joined yet.  I would recommend using explicit join syntax only
and see how that works for you.
