Generally, when you combine two expressions, you assign the result of the first expression to a variable and then incorporate that variable into the calculation for the second expression. In your case though, smooth() only works on the pre-expression value of the property, so you can't do clamp, then smooth, only smooth, then clamp, which would be like this (but probably isn't what you want):

s = smooth(.5,11);
min=[97.0,97.0];
max = [103.0,103.0]
clamp(s,min,max);

Of course you can expand and modify any expression as you see fit:

mCorner=effect("Corner Pin")(1);

min=0;
max=500;

X=clamp(min,max,mCorner[0]);
Y=clamp(min,max,mCorner[1]);

[X,Y]

smooth(0.2,5,time)

Naturally, you'll have to fill in some real values as needed for your project here.
