You can do composition through CTE or Table-Valued Function.

CTE and TVF still treat tables as second class citizens, so while they enable some forms of composition, they're still very restricted. This has been the consistent story with SQL, 15 ways to use queries and tables, all to work around the limitation that they are not first class values.
