Can composition of morphisms in a category be carried out on any subgraph of a commutative diagram, in-place?

Here is what the rule looks like to us and how we specify it to the app I'm writing.



I was wondering can you take any commutative diagram $J$ and apply this rule to a subgraph matching $A xrightarrow{a} B xrightarrow{b} C$ in place, all the while leaving another commutative diagram. Or does adding in the hypotenuse sometimes break commutativity of a larger diagram?



If it preserves commutativity, what is a simple proof?

          Consider any two parallel paths.

          Change every occurance of the new arrow $bcirc a$ to the subpath $a, b$.

          Since the original diagram commutes, the composition of the two changed paths coincide.

          Consequently, the new diagram is commutative, as well.
