The first because defn includes an implicit do. So the second example is
actually (do (do ...)).
In this case you could also use doto:
(defn my-fn
[pojo]
(doto pojo
.firstFunc
.secondFunc
.thirdFunc))

The third:
(defn my-fn
[pojo bar]
(let [bar-bar (.getSomething pojo)]
(when-not (is-bar? bar)
(.setSomething pojo bar-bar))
pojo)))
let also (just like defn) includes an implicit do for the body.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards
