Well, there's one problem with that -- if a company command is present,
then
the rules actually allow a squad to be activated four times:

1: Squad activates normally.
2: Platoon leader activates squad.
3: Company commander activates platoon leader, who then activates squad.
4: Company commander communicates directly with squad & activates it
(skipping one link in the chain of command, and using a smaller a
die-type).

In 3 & 4, the company commander is reactivating two different
subordinate
elements, so technically it isn't against the rules. However, it does
violate the spirit of the rules (IMO) (and probably also the realities
of
using a chain of command).
