In the Viking Club, we find the following sequence: 1D-1H. The 1D bid is a Precision "nebulous" 1D with several possible meanings. The 1H bid is "either a natural heart bid, or a game" forcing relay. Opener clarifies his/her 1D bid (For example, 1NT shows a balanced hand with no 4-card major). Relayer (Opener's partner) can then force game by relaying a second time: 1D-1H(r)-1NT-2C(r) is game-forcing. Other bids show a natural heart suit.
