Do I understand this correctly?

If a combination of shafts and U-joints an be resolved so that all the shafts may lie on the same plane, horizontal or vertical, then the forks must be aligned all in the same direction? On the other hand if it is not possible for the shafts to lie on a single plane then where there is a change in direction the forks must be aligned at a calculated angle to each other?
