It works for me. Doesn't it work for you?
>From the fine manual (section 5.9. Comparisons):
Comparisons can be chained arbitrarily, e.g., x < y <= z is
equivalent to x < y and y <= z, except that y is evaluated
only once (but in both cases z is not evaluated at all when x
< y is found to be false).
