I'd expect that if there is such a representation, the innermost function would be the one choosing one of p elements, the next one would know from f(x) which element *not* to choose, and would pick one of the p-1 remaining elements, etc. —Dan

With function composition, we can do the following:
f(g(h(...(q(x))...))) can be a representation of one of these p! permutations if
f(x) chooses one of p elements; g(x) chooses one of p-1 elements; h(x) chooses one of p-2 elements, and so forth.
