Nope. You can fire through friendlies, through enemies, whatever. The
only restriction is that when you fire at a Detachment, you must (unless
using SHWs) fire at the closest units in the detachment first.

So if you have one detachment (normal), and another detachment
(Commander) behind it, you can fire at the closest units in the
detachment (Commander). Which will be Bodyguards if the opposing player
has any sense, that's what Bodyguards are for! But if not, by all means
get the Commander.
