Can a Major Boon be used to suck up pool loss taken from a Major Boon?
Basically, is pool loss taken from a Major Boon still considered as loss
from
a bleed?
Example:
Meth A bleeds Meth B. Meth C plays Major Boon on B, and takes the bleed.
Can Meth D then play another Major Boon on C to take the bleed?
Another:
Meth C already has a Major Boon on B. D bleeds A, and C then plays
another Major Boon. Can C burn the previous Boon and force B to take
the bleed for C?

Yes, but the Methuselah losing the pool is not the Methuselah being bled.

Yes (*), since the loss is still "due to a bleed", as required by
card text on Major Boon. (This answer may be "no" if the RT decides
that the loss is actually soley from the Boon, not due to the bleed).
If the "yes" answer remains official:
This would result in player D paying the pool loss for the bleed, which
is still directed at B. B will owe a Boon to C; C will owe a Boon to D.

No, because the bleed is not "against C", it is against A.
Card text on Major Boon says that you can burn the Boon to collect
only on a bleed against you.
