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 GFCI
is protecting.

Thanks!

Nothing wrong with the junction box except it may cause problems in the
future if it's not clear what you did. For the price of a gfci
receptacle, it might be a cleaner job to just tap the second outlet
directly from the junction box. You also don't mention where the second
outlet is going. To meet code, if that's the intent, it would have to be
going to a location that doesn't require AFCI protection.
