A shark's need to feed is a good example of this.
Some sharks need to be constantly swimming in order to breathe. This physical exertion requires a lot of energy. They get that energy by constantly eating.
Once they eat, they have more energy to swim around looking for more food

If you locate these events one after the other like B after A , and C after B in the real historical time line it seems that it`s impossible because event D technicaly is after A in time line and you know that we can call D in future about A and an event in future can not be a cause for a event in past .
It`s in the world that we see and live but you know there is some theory that says our univers stars and galaxsies that we live in and watch the events and feel the time is going to be bigger and bigger and according to this theory after a long time if the material in the univers be enough it`s going to be smaller and smaler till back to first position and with this action all the dimention even forth (time) will back to first and if this theory be true so the answer of your question will be YES !
Be cause in real time :
A is cause of B
B is cause of C
C is cause of D and ..... then in the back action of univers and time we will see that :
D is cause of C
C is cause of B
And B is cause of A !
You know it seems D personaly because of time line rules can not be ever cuase of A but in this case D can be the third cause of A the same that A was the third Cause of D in real time line story !
May be it`s an example !
I don`t know !
But i think it`s better the world be in the nature way !
Don`t try to mix it up !

Well, Thermo,
Homosexuality is not a cancer. Heterosexuality is not a cancer. You are not even a cancer, even though you spread it to others.
For such a man whose self-proclaimed intelligence searches A to D and all things in between, I believe you may find it hard to find the needle to thread yourself through on your way to the afterlife. Why do people hate so much? Isn't it easier to be less judgemental of others, and practice tolerence? Associative properties and inference won't get you where you wish to be...

If you define the events as specific and discrete events, then this is not possible. However, if the events are merely a type of event that can be repeated, one example is lasers where photons stimulate the emission of other photons.
