I would say yes to that one. The way I read the sec. consultant
is that you replace him with whatever the top challange on his stack is,
so, if you were the running team, you would reveal your top challange
and face it as though it was a normal challange (i.e. part of the other
guy's stack) so then whatever comes next is now your top challange to
face, so I would go with using the next challange in the running
team's stack (of course, if the running team played 3 sec. consultants...
well, oops run is over and the opposing team gets a freebee).

Double Jeopardy is an exact copy of the last revealed challange,
which would be whatever Sec. Consultant forced you to face.

I think that's how people intended the game to work.
