As the title says, would an ally continue to block a charge if the charging charachter has friendly switch?
If this feat would work with a charge attack, could a animal companion mount take this feat for use in charge/ ride-by attacks?
I can see both pro and con arguments but would like a general understanding that confirms either one.
Thanks for your time.
I don't think it is RAI, but it does seem to work by RAW. In any event I would allow it. I think a player using a mount could use it if he can use it while not mounted.

I was wondering about this myself. The wording of the feat is
As part of your movement or as a 5-foot-step, you can move into the space occupied by an ally of your size or smaller, which displaces the ally into the space you just left.
Since it says "your movement" as opposed to "a move action", I can't see any reason not to allow it for a charging character. I'm not so sure about a mounted charge; I would think the mount would have to have the feat (as opposed to the character) and possibly require a Handle Animal check do something so unusual.
I may have to get this for my rogue who has teamwork feats with my wife's fighter; on more than one occasion we have had someone step into "my square", preventing us from getting our Precise Strike bonus until at least two people move again. And since the characters are dancers, I can visualize it as a "swing your partner" move. :)

Charge: "If any line from your starting space to the ending space passes through a square that blocks movement, slows movement, or contains a creature (even an ally), you can't charge."

Agreed I talked it out with some peole over the weekend and that was the same conclusion that it doesn't override the last part of the or statement.
But, Paizo understands that dragon style shouldn't be the only means to charge through allies, especialy for mounted characters, so they gave us wheeling charge and the team work feat of Cavalry Formation.
Though this feat is still really good, just not as OP as i originaly thought.
