Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Do you mean that you have many-to-many relationship between post type X and Y and intermediary posttype XY.

Now, based on specific single ID of post type belongs to X, you want to fetch the intermediary posts belongs to specified post type X ID?

Yes - you can surely use the toolset_get_related_posts() function in that case.

Considering the many-to-many post relationship between post types Student and Subject with intermediary post type "'student-subject" to get related intermediary posts for single student as follows:

For example:

$parent_student_id = 1755;
$results  = toolset_get_related_posts(
                                     $parent_student_id,  // single parent post ID
                                    'student-subject',    /// intermediary post type slug
                                     'parent',
                                     100,
                                      0,
                                      array(),
                                     'post_object',
                                     'intermediary'   // returning the intermediary posts 
                                     );
