The following works for me:

------------------------------>%------------------------------
input boxes

beginfig(1)
  boxjoin (a.e - a.w = b.e - b.w);

  boxit.a ("A");
  a.e - a.w = (40pt, 0pt);
  boxit.aa ("AA");
  boxit.aaa ("AAA");

  a.c = aa.c - (0pt, 50pt) = aaa.c - (0pt, 100pt) = origin;

  drawboxed (a, aa, aaa);
endfig;

end
------------------------------%<------------------------------

HTH,
Oleg
