turn around the first and second clause. The first clause
also matches disjoint([F]), since in that case FnTail is
nil.

ps. You don't need to use three apply's, I guess you want to
recursively apply disjoin on the rest of the functions:

fun(Args) ->
   apply(Fn, [Args]) orelse
      apply(apply(disjoin, [FnTail]), [Args]) 
end;

is equal to:

fun(Args) ->
   apply(Fn,[Args]) orelse
     apply(disjoin(FnTail),[Args])
end;
