Yes, actually the reaction is decarboxylative condensation of A and B which 
produces an intermediate. This intermediate will undergo cycloaddition 
reaction to give the final product. It is a complicated system.
So what I should do is to study the first reactions using QST2 without 
ignoring the CO2 and H2O produced. This will give the transition state of 
the first reaaction. Then, do again QST2 between the intermediate formed in 
the first reaction with the diene as third reactant.
Am I right?
All the best
