We derive general results on the small deviation behavior for some classes of iterated processes. This allows us, in particular, to calculate the rate of the small deviations for n-iterated Brownian motions and, more generally, for the iteration of n fractional Brownian motions. We also give a new and correct proof of some results in E. Nane, Electron. J. Probab. 11 (2006), no. 18, 434--459.
