Can the courtesy runner later legally enter the game as a subsitute for a different spot in the batting order, other than the F1 or F2 that they originally courtesy ran for? Or are they locked into that one spot in the batting order, once they courtesy run?

To clarify SRW's somewhat verbose response...

A courtesy runner is just that - a courtesy. She has not legally entered the game as a sub. She retains all of her rights as an unused sub, except one: She may not enter as a sub in the same half inning that she ran as a courtesy runner (exception for injury and no other eligible subs).
