But if I understand your situation what you really want is agent
forwarding (ssh -A). You're going from host A to host B and then from
host B to host C? Or you may want something like keychain

I want to SSH from A to B. Then I want to use B's keys to log in from
B to C.
That's ssh forwarding. You can ssh -A or set it in the ssh_config file.
No, it's not. If he wanted to use A's key to log into C it would be ssh
forwarding. I like ssh forwarding.
I second the recommendation of keychain.

It is easy to set up and takes care of all the details of ssh-agent for
you. When I was using lab computers frequently I wrote a little
scriptlet in my .bash_logout that knows whether to stop the ssh agent or
let it continue to run based on whether I trusted the computer.
if [ -n $KEYCHAIN ] && [ ! -e ~/.keychain/trusted ]; then
keychain -q -k

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
