Donna is the DP and bats 3rd in the lineup
Donna bats and reaches base on a walk.
Felicity, the FLEX, runs for Donna. All very legal and straight forward.
Donna has therefore been removed from the game and has one reentry still available.
When the 3rd spot comes around again, Donna, the original DP, reenters and bats. She reaches base.
Patty pinchruns for Donna. Donna is now removed from the game and Patty is the new DP.
Later in the game, Patty bats and reaches base.
Felicity, the original FLEX, runs for Patty.

Two questions:
1. Can Felicity legally run for Patty?
2. If so, can Patty reenter as the DP?
