Do you score a run when a defensive player crosses home plate in baseball?

If the third out is a force play or a fly out, a run can not score, no matter how soon a runner crosses home before that third out.
If the batter hits the ball over the outfielder's head with runners on first and third, and the runner on first constantly slips and falls as he runs to second, the fact that the batter got to first and the runner on third got home several seconds before the runner going to second was forced out, is just too bad. It's still a force out, and no run scores.
