May 10, 2010 at 16:26 comment added Jim Humphreys I'm still not sure what the question is actually about (or its motivation), but the $B$-orbits in question will be few in number and presumably easier to characterize than general $B$-orbits. To be precise, there are $|W|^2$ pairs of the given type; maybe there will be just $|W|$ distinct "types" of orbits? This many orbits at any rate look just like Schubert varieties in $G/B$.
May 10, 2010 at 15:50 comment added Allen Knutson The question is more about certain $G$-orbits in $(G/B)^3$ than $(G/B)^2$, with the important difference that there are infinitely many $G$-orbits there but only finitely many of the form inquired about.

May 10, 2010 at 12:16 comment added JJH In my question, $T$ is maximal. I don't even know whether all B-orbits in the closure of $\mathcal{O}_{y,w}$ are of the form $\mathcal{O}_{y',w'}$, where $y',w'$ are T-fixed points in $G/B$.
