house 1 has computer A
house 2 has computer B and C. these 2 PCs can see shared folders and files because they are on same network.

suppose i set up VPN so B can be in same network as A so they can see and edit files simultaneously. can C still see B while B is connected via VPN to A? if not, what is the best way to have all 3 of them to see each other and be able to edit files on each other? (autocad files)

Short: Yes.

Long: VPN has essentially two parts:
A) Two devices run program that (1) transfers encrypted data between them and (2) presents virtual network card in the device
B) Routing configuration to direct some traffic to that virtual network

Lets assumew that A and B run VPN program. The B and C have subnet X.

Routing config in A should be:
* To X via the VPN tunnel
* Everything else via normal routes

The routing config on B should be:
* To A('s VPN interface) via the VPN tunnel
* Everything else via normal routes

The routing config on C should be:
* To A via the B
* Everything else via normal routes

That way all three machines see each other.

How to configure the VPN for that depends on the VPN software. Some are very limited and prevent sanity.
