I think I understand your example, but please excuse me if not.
In this example, the button goes to the person who was just the SB, as you said, but it's not that they get to skip the BB, they were just the BB the hand before.
The button essentially makes its way around the table as if the 2 new players weren't there. For them to join the hand however, they both need to post the amount of the BB.
Regarding your other question as to when the new players sit in the seats that would be the SB and BB that hand, I can only tell you what happens online. Anyone joining the table immediately in front of the button is not permitted to start playing until after the button passes them. It's only a matter of the new person waiting one hand, so it's an easy solution. The new person in the BB can simply post the BB and start since that doesn't change the progression.
Did this help or harm?
