These sound good in theory…. but broad beans use most of their N to grow themselves so the residue is small for other plants, 3-5% I believe (its in my Myths book).
The bean-climbing-sweetcorn combination comes for areas with hot summers (USA) where the later bean planting has time to fruit, whereas in the UK its less certain there is time. Planting corn between squash does work though.
