May be some trick with the view designer will help you.
Add tables to your view in this sequence:
1. locations
2. trips
3. locations

The SQL statement (from the view designer):
SELECT Trips.name, Locations.loc, Locations_a.loc;
FROM data1!locations INNER JOIN data1!trips;
INNER JOIN data1!locations Locations_a ;
ON Trips.drop_off = Locations_a.lockey ;
ON Locations.lockey = Trips.pick_up
I have tried it. It doesn't give an error.

Sorry for my English.
