Abel on 3B, no outs. Charles bats instead of Baker and takes ball 4. Charles proceeds to 1B but continues on to 2B. The defense plays on Charles and Abel scores. The defense then appeals the BOO. (Whether or not Charles was put out is irrelevant.) Would you allow Abel's run to score? In other words, was Abel's advance "as a result of Charles's advance to 1B," or simply an event that occurred along with it? I think I'd go with the former and send Abel back to 3B, but I admit I'm not sure.

Abel scores, his advance is not as a result of Charles advance to 1B but due to advance to 2B and defense's inability to stop Abel from scoring while they are playing on Charles. BOO appeal is allowed after the play, unless Charles advance to 2B was after continuous action was over, in which case the defense loses their right to appeal because they made a play after continuous action was over. In your example it sounded like he never stopped at 1B but just kept going so continous action is not over.
