Ok, so let's take two twins, Raj and Ragan. Raj is orbiting a massive cosmological object, Ragan is on the surface. Ragan's time appears to travel slower than Raj's time.
Does FTL communication between Ragan and Raj ever create a situation where messages can travel backwards in time? Does bringing an observer into it help?
As you were posting this, I edited my post to fill in more details. You've got me re-reading my special relativity texts, which I haven't touched in 20 years, and for which I thank you. :)
