I've got a chase above a socket backbox, a chase below it, and enough space for an earth bonding wire that I need to run.
Is it acceptable to run a bond wire through a backbox? For reasons of routing, it would need to be through the same knockout as one leg of the ring.
I know of nothing that disallows it.
Are you talking about a 10mm bond or a 2.5/4mm supplementary bond? The space available may limit your options

Nothing to say you can't, but I'd always callit bad worksmanship, which is disallowed.
I'd usually run the cable behind the box. If the earth bond is a 10mm then you could be struggling to fit a socket on the front of it when you come to 2nd fix stage.
