Pilot narrative

Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ, X, Y.

After myself entering the 45 (I am Aircraft X) following Aircraft Y, turning downwind, Aircraft Z not making many calls tries to come in midfield 200 ft. below and starts to turn downwind. I am on top of the aircraft and lets the pilot know on the comms. He does a 360 and I request not to pull up in the event of a mid air collision. I extend my downwind for Aircraft Y to land, once Aircraft Y turns final I start to turn base and Aircraft Z also turns base to go final cutting off Aircraft Y. Myself and Aircraft Y lets him know which he does a 360 on base and flies on what he thinks is a downwind but is still close off to my right wing when im on final. Upon me and my student landing, while we are still on the runway I turn around and see Aircraft Z also lands on the runway while im still well within the protected runway environment. I was clearing at taxiway Charlie and he looked to land by taxiway Delta.
