If B passes along C's routes to A then that is not (in the model) a  
peering
relationship. Only your own and your customers' routes get sent to  
peers not
routes learned from other peers.

So in this case B-C looks like p2c and A-B could be either p2p or c2p.

Cases of partial transit, where B might repeat C's routes to peers but  
not
to upstrem providers are not, AFAIK treated in the model.
