Default 3 way switch

Is it possible to run unswitched power beyond my second switch in a 3-way switch. Power comes into first switch then fixture then second switch. Or can it come out of the fixture to another set of 3way switches.

This would depend on your wiring configuration...

check the above 3 way switch options and compare to your own configuration.

To have unswitched power onward , you must have an unswitched hot, & a ungrounded leg {aka neutral} wire available at the location you wish to run from. If you have these wires available then you may continue to an independent set of 3 way switches controlling a different fixture.
