Neutrino telescopes detect the emission of Cherenkov light resulting from the tracks and showers of charged and neutral current neutrino interactions. These tracks or showers are reconstructed using a corresponding probability density function (PDF) which depends on measured time and location of the detected photo-electrons. We call a composite event the mixed detector response due to the juxtaposition of more than one Cherenkov light source (track or shower). This paper presents the construction of a generic PDF corresponding to a composite hypothesis. This composite PDF is therefore useful to reconstruct an arbitrary event topology and to favor or discard a given event topology hypothesis.
