Abstract: Let M be a 3-manifold with torus boundary components T1 and T2. Let phicolonT1oT2 be a homeomorphism, Mphi the manifold obtained from M by gluing T1 to T2 via the map phi, and T the image of T1 in Mphi. We show that if phi is "sufficiently complicated" then any incompressible or strongly irreducible surface in Mphi can be isotoped to be disjoint from T. It follows that every Heegaard splitting of a 3-manifold admitting a "sufficiently complicated" JSJ decomposition is an amalgamation of Heegaard splittings of the components of the JSJ decomposition.
