We prove that a large class of natural transformations (consisting roughly of those constructed via composition from the ``functorial'' or ``base change'' transformations) between two functors of the form $... f^* g_* ...$ actually has only one element, and thus that any diagram of such maps necessarily commutes. We identify the precise axioms defining what we call a ``geofibered category'' that ensure that such a coherence theorem exists. Our results apply to all the usual sheaf-theoretic contexts of algebraic geometry. The analogous result that would include any other of the six functors remains unknown.
