Can a record be SELECTed twice in sort/selection processing?

[Boaz Bezborodko]

I'm not trying to do this, I just know that on at least two occasions a 
record was processed twice and I found a situation where it just might 
have been possible for the record to be selected twice.

I'm not sure that it works like "DELETING a record twice" since I think 
it works more on the basis of building a table of records to run through 
during output processing rather than flagging a record to be processed.

If it builds a table then it might be able to SELECT a record twice and 
have the record placed in the table twice.  Ken probably knows if this 
is possible or not.
