And if the defense loses their chance to make an appeal based off an offensive action, they still can try to do it again.
Sitch: R1, 2 outs. F1 turns to appeal 3rd base on a runner that just scored. R1 breaks for 2nd, F1 throws to F5 who comes off the base before he catches in order to throw to F4. R1 is subsequently put out in a run-down. The defense then executes the appeal at 3rd base.
Ruling: The appeal shall be ruled upon by the umpire since it is an advantagous 4th out appeal. The defense did not lose their right to appeal because a play was initiated by the offense.
Just to add on to the OP...
