I'm pretty sure that this is OK... just want to make sure.

Assume the junction box is sized correctly for four runs of
14/2 w/ ground Romex.

Romex from panel enters the junction box in the basement.That
wire
is
wire-nutted to a run that goes up to the line side of a GFCI
receptacle on the first floor.

From the load side of the GFCI, a run of Romex comes back down
into the junction box and is wire-nutted to a run that goes off
to a 3 prong receptacle, also on the first floor..

Basically I'm just making sure that it's OK to use the junction
box
as
a pass-through for the run that goes to the receptacles that
the GF
CI
is protecting.

Thanks!

Perfectly fine.

is crimped GND lead required? versus wire-nutted GND lead.- Hide

Crimped ground lead to what? * You can wire nut
the grounds together. *If it's a metal box you're using,
then it needs to be grounded too via a wire with a
ground screw.- Hide quoted text -

I won't need to ground the junction box since it's going to be duct
taped to a water pipe which is already grounded.

Awesome!

Kidding!

Awwwe, I'm saddened.

But seriously, what if all of the Romex was 14/2 w/o ground, like
might be found in a older home (including some sections of mine). How
would one deal with a metal junction box in that case?
