Answer:

Dear Mr. Goldthorp

No, we don't know of any poker variation where you can build a straight around the corner like that. The exception of course being the ace, which can be used as both 1 and 14 in most games.

On the other hand, in your home games you're allowed to invent whatever games you like. If you perform some experiments in this area, please let us know!
