A Rel3 provides only a membership test for a supplied pair. It gives no way to enumerate the finite middle carrier Y, enumerate one element's relatives, or even obtain a first value of type Y. Finiteness alone supplies no generic enumeration operation. To answer the existential query for the composed relation, supply a complete finite enumeration of the middle carrier explicitly:

def compose3[X, Y, Z](r: Rel3[X, Y], s: Rel3[Y, Z],
                      middleValues: List[Y]): Rel3[X, Z] = {
  val witnesses = middleValues.distinct
  new Rel3[X, Z] {
    def related(x: X, z: Z): Boolean =
      witnesses.exists(y => r.related(x, y) && s.related(y, z))
  }
}

The precondition is that middleValues contains every admissible middle value, or at least every possible witness. Extra irrelevant values do not change the answer if the two membership tests are defined for them. The postcondition is precisely $\exists y\in Y:R(x,y)\wedge S(y,z)$. .exists and && use short-circuit evaluation; with an empty middle carrier, the answer is false. Each query uses at most $|Y|$ pairs of membership tests, apart from the one-time duplicate elimination.

An alternative interface can expose def rightDomain: List[Y] together with the first predicate, with an explicit completeness contract. Such an output position is incompatible with retaining a contravariant Y in that extended trait, so its variance must be reconsidered. Passing the enumeration separately leaves the safe base Rel3[-X,-Y] unchanged.

The information gap is substantive. A black-box algorithm making finitely many membership queries cannot rule out a witness at an unexamined middle value: two relations can agree on every inspected pair while differing only by a fresh witness that makes the composition true. A finite but unenumerated carrier can be enlarged to include that witness. A complete explicit enumeration, a known traversable carrier, or an equivalent relatives-enumeration interface removes this obstruction. This is finite-domain composition from relation predicates, rather than a problem solvable merely by nesting the two Boolean-valued methods.
