Parameter plane plots related to a periodically forced compound Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers system, which is modeled by a third-order partial differential equation, are reported. It is shown that typical periodic structures embedded in a chaotic region in these parameter planes, organize themselves in different ways. There are bifurcation sequences whose periods have a well-defined law of formation, that may be written in a closed form, and there are bifurcation sequences self-organized in period-adding cascades.
