TTree::Draw does't work for TClonesArray splitted in level 3

ROOT
1

I saved a class, XEvent, in a tree

XEvent *event = new XEvent; // inherits from TNamed
TFile *output= new TFile("events.root","recreate");                          
TTree *xtree = new TTree("xtree","xtree");                                                   
xtree->Branch("events","XEvent",&event,32000,2);

It contains a TClonesArray of hits:

xtree
  |
  +--events (XEvent)
         |
         +--fIDData (XData)
                 |
                 +--fHits (XHits)
                       |
                       +--fArray (TClonesArray of XHit)

XData, XHits, TClonesArray are all data members instead of pointers. Class, XHit, has members like, fNPEs, fPMTId, etc. I can draw the number of photoelectrons in PMT 1 using the following command:

xtree->Draw("fIDData.fHits.fArray.fNPEs","fIDData.fHits.fArray.fPMTId==1");

However, this only works if the splitting level is 2. If I change the level to any number other than 2, say, 1 or 3 or 99, the draw command complains

Error in <TTreeFormula::Compile>:  Bad numerical expression : "fIDData.fHits.fArray.fNPEs"

Why is that?
