May 21, 2014 at 5:48 comment added Edwin Beggs I don't necessarily expect composition to be compatible - just about any bimodule would be interesting.
May 20, 2014 at 20:44 comment added Qiaochu Yuan Presumably you also want composition of positive maps to be compatible with composition of bimodules. I would be surprised if you could do this. Positivity doesn't seem to play an important role (that is, I would be surprised if you could only do this under a positivity assumption), so one can ask an analogous question about linear maps between rings and it might be easier to prove a negative result there.
