I tried the example as the following:

create table a(col1);
create table b(col1, col2)

select a.*
from a inner join b using(col2)
left join b.col2 as c on (c.col1 = a.col1)

System notifies me that b is not a schema name.

So, I guess the approach that I tried to do is not acceptable by Pgsql 
grammar.
