Spec3 will not be evaluated if Spec2 fails. That's what the AND means.

You're wanting something like the following:

EOQualifier spec1; // assume initialised
EOQualifier spec2; // assume initialised
EOQualifier spec3; // assume initialised
EOQualifier resultingQualifier;

resultingQualifier = new EOOrQualifier( new NSArray( new Object[] {
	spec1,
	new EOAndQualifier( new NSArray( new Object[] {
		spec2, spec3
	} ) )
} ) );
