A counter-cross-claim is a claim made by a party against an original cross-claimant. This type of claim is asserted in connection with the original cross-claim. The Rules allow a cross-claim to be filed against an original cross-claimant. For instance, if party C has a claim against party B related to B's cross-claim against C, then C can raise this claim as a counter-crossclaim in C's answer to B's cross-claim.
