if you have a full backup and three subsequent t-log backups, why you cannot restore the third t-log backup after restoring the second t-log backup with recovery?

mainly we are using offline Backup
What software are you backing up? Exchange, SQL, Oracle, etc?
When you a restore of T-logs (if that is transaction logs) with recovery, the database application assumes that the database recovery is complee and will try to get “online”.
with recovery option should be used when you are restoring the last set of transaction logs …
After the second transaction log is restored with recovery and the database is brought online, the restore chain of LSNs is broken. You can’t restore the next log because records could have been changed between when the second file is restored and the third restore is started.
