DO NOT think of batting out of order as people batting in different "slots" in the batting order.
Rather, think of BOO as players being "skipped over" in the batting order.

So if the lineup goes: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 4 bats when 2 should have been up and nobody appeals it, once 4 completes his at bat hitter number 3 would hit. But once hitter number 3's at bat is done, what happens then? Would 4 hit again; what if hitter number 4 is on base?
