Player A wants to work with Player B. Player C wants to work with Player B. Players A and C are explicit that they should be kept away from each other. Verrrry special...
If both A & C are explicit about not playing with each other, then I'd have neither of them play with B, unless you need one of them to play with B, in which case I'd either take the obvious one or flip a coin. If only one of them makes the claim, then I'd have the other play with B, unless the other way is a better story choice.
I'm not hard-and-fast on the matter -- in a case like this, I'm willing to have one pair "win" if that fits the casting otherwise, and cast the odd person somewhere else. (Flipping a coin really isn't an option, since all things are really never equal in this situation.)
But in the actual case at hand, there weren't any really natural pairings anyway, so the easiest thing to do was to simply cast all three into their otherwise-best fits, which wound up with all of them in separate parts of the game...
