The authors study the growth of a composition \(f\circ g\). Let \(\rho(f)\) be the order of the entire function \(f\). If \(\rho(f)=0\), then the value \(\rho*(f)\) is introduced as \[ \rho*(f)=\overline{\lim}\frac{\ln\ln M(r,f)}{\ln\ln r}\;\text{where}\;M(r,f)=\max\limits_\theta| f(re^{i\theta})| . \] The authors give sufficient conditions for the relations \(\rho(f\circ g)=\infty\), \(\rho(f\circ g)<\infty\), \(\rho*(f\circ g)=\infty\), \(\rho*(f\circ g)<\infty\). They investigate the values \[ \frac{\ln\ln M(r, f\circ g)}{\ln\ln M(r^A,f)},\quad \frac{\ln\ln M(r, f\circ g)}{\ln\ln M(r^A,g)},\quad \text{for } A>0\,, \] \[ \frac{(\ln\ln M(r, f\circ g))^{1+\alpha}}{\ln\ln M(\exp r^p,f)},\quad \frac{(\ln\ln M(r, f\circ g))^{1+\alpha}}{\ln\ln M(\exp r^p,g)},\quad \text{for } \alpha>0, 0<p<(1+\alpha)\rho(g)\,, \] \[ \frac{\ln\ln M(r, f\circ g)}{\ln\ln M(r^{\rho(g)},f)},\quad \frac{\ln\ln M(r, f\circ g)}{\ln\ln M(r^{\rho(g)},g)} \] where \(f\) and \(g\) are entire functions, the values \[ \frac{T(r, h\circ k)}{T(r^\nu,f\circ g)\ln M(r^\nu,g)},\quad \frac{T(r, h\circ k)}{T(r^\nu,f\circ g)} \] where \(h\) and \(f\) are meromorphic functions, \(k\) and \(g\) are entire functions, \(T\) is the Nevanlinna characteristic function.
