If I'm understanding your example correctly, yes. If quadruplets A and B
are on earth and quadruplets C and D are on a ship moving at 1/3c away
from earth, then if B flies out at 2/3c to catch up with the ship and D
flies back at 2/3c to catch up with the earth, then B will find himself
younger than C when they meet, and D will find himself younger than A
when they meet.
