The simplest is probably the one you gave. For example:
43 A
27 B vs. B>C
30 C>B
If B voters don't give any second preference then generally B will win
(depending perhaps on the particular method). But if B voters give a
second preference for C then C will win.
If B voters believe C voters will give them support then they could
decide to bullet vote, as they can be confident that A will either win
outright (as majority favorite) or suffer a pairwise defeat worse than
B's loss to C.
