Switching question

Hi group,

i have 3 switches

SW1---SW2---SW3

trunks are in between, ONLY SW1&3 has the VLAN 10

now if a 2 clients in vlan 10, one on SW1 and the other on SW3 wants to
communicate, can they do it without creating vlan 10 on SW2 ??

the first thought was yes, but it seems that it didn't, so any explanation ??
shouldn't this traffic be carried (VLAN 10) between SW1&3 through the trunk int
of SW2 ??

Regards
