Do you mean you have a single joint that connects the two spheres?  How is
the box connected to the spheres?

dBodyAddForce (BodyID, vecForce.x, vecForce.y, vecForce.z);

If you want all three to move together, you might want to do that to all
three bodies.  Otherwise you'll move one and the others will follow
according to the joints that connect them.

Do the spheres and box interpenetrate at first?  If so, you're probably
just seeing ODE try to un-do the interpenetration.  Disable contact joint
creation between the box and spheres if you want the interpenetration.
