\begin{abstract}  
Let $a(n)=\lfloor n\a\rfloor$ and $b(n)=\lfloor n\a^2\rfloor$, where
$\a=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}2$. Then a theorem of Kimberling states that each
function $f$, composed of several $a$'s and $b$'s, can be expressed in
the form $c_1a+c_2b-c_3,$ where $c_1$ and $c_2$ are consecutive
Fibonacci numbers determined by the numbers of $a$'s and of $b$'s
composing $f$ and $c_3$ is a nonnegative constant. We provide
generalizations of this theorem to two infinite families of
complementary pairs of Beatty sequences.  The particular case involving
`Narayana' numbers is examined in depth. The details reveal that $x_n=
\lf\a^3\lf\a^3\lf\cdots\lf\a^3\rf\cdots\rf\rf\rf$, with $n$ nested
pairs of $\lf\;\rf$, is a 7th-order linear recurrence, where $\a$ is the
dominant zero of $x^3-x^2-1$.
