If he does, who pays attention to B1 touching first, being obstructed there, rounding the bag and maybe heading for second (as he is supuposed to do if R3 gets in a rundown)? Thanks -

In the mechanics I was taught, BU is supposed to get involved only once all the other runners have "filled in".
In practice, it usually doesn't work that way.
