Substitution - Fed rules

Fed Rules...
Starter A in the game, then is substituted for in the 3rd inning by Sub X. Starter A reenters game in 4th inning. Can a different sub (Sub Y) now enter the game for Starter A?

Starter A has no more reentries, correct?
Sub Z has one reentry, correct?

Sub Z should be able to substitute in for Sub Y later in the game, correct?

Thanks in advance!

Correct

Sub Z hasn't been in the game yet.

Yes, as long as Sub Z hasn't been in the game in any other slot in the batting order.

in same scenario, Starter A was batting in the #1 spot. However, Sub Y is now in the game for starter A.

Can Starter A enter the game for Starter B and bat in the #2 spot.

I assume that once a player enters on offense in a certain position (sub runner, batting), then that player is married to that position and cannot play offense in any other spot. hence, the above scenario cannot take place???

The most basic rule of lineups is that no player can ever use more than one batting order spot in the same game.
