Here is a good example (at least in my mind)(I am going to steal Bob's situation) where you would HAVE to force R2 to third:
R1. Batter hits a "sure double." He doesn't see R1 returning to second in the belief that R2 missed the base. B/R turns around to return to first and runs into F3 who was trailing B/R on a designed defensive play. The ball is thrown to F3 who tags out the fallen B/R. We have obstruction. Put B/R on second and advance R1 to third.

Yes (in FED! I cannot speak for OBS)!
