It's okay to use a sequel IF it attaches the actor to another actor who was not in the original.
For example, if I went:
Lea Thompson
Back to the Future
Michael J. Fox
You CANNOT come back with
Back to the Future II
Christopher Lloyd
Star Trek III
Because Christopher Lloyd was IN the first Back to the Future (the logic is, with some movies/sequels, you can go back and forth between characters and actors all day).
You CAN come back with
Back to the Future III
Mary Steenburgen
Parenthood
because Mary Steenburgen wasn't in Back to the Future I.

The rule is against sequels to get TO actors that appear in both films. There's no rule against cameos to get to actors that are not in the first movie (ie, even if it were a sequel, it would be okay

Is it OK to use a sequel?
Die Hard 2 is the only other BB movies I can think of.

As Raf started this thread, I defer to his decision (which makes sense). Of course, it's not wrong NOT to use a sequel...

I'm out. I looked.
I thought Melanie Griffith was in it. Found out she wasn't.
