Why isn't the following code giving 

              (1,0)      2    
Out[6]= 4 lami     [x, y]      

as a result?

In[1]:= li = lami[x,y];

In[2]:= lami/: D[lami[x,y],{x,2}] = 0;

In[3]:= lami/: D[lami[x,y],{y,2}] = 0;

In[4]:= lami/: D[lami[x,y],x,y] = 0;

In[5]:= vert = 2li^2 - li;

In[6]:= D[vert,{x,2}]

              (1,0)      2       (2,0)                          (2,0)
Out[6]= 4 lami     [x, y]  - lami     [x, y] + 4 lami[x, y] lami     [x, y]

I have the same problem when I use 
   lami/: D[lami[x_,y_],{x_,2}] = 0;  ... 

Thanks for the help.
