Are B and/or C behind a firewall?

You should be able to see which tinc nodes are connected to which
other nodes by running tinc in debug mode:

tincd -n [network-name] -D -d

If B can directly connect to C (or vice versa), then B and C should
still be able to communicate directly with each other.

I believe tinc always tries to route packets directly.  So your goal
should be possible.
