I think generally it's a bad move. If it's one of my best girl friends' ex, definitely big NO.
Just think, they have to see you with this guy they were with, and have mixed feelings about it all the time. Also they will wonder if when they were with the guy, if you were thinking about him "that" way. It's just too many levels of uncomfortable. It's also pretty disloyal to your friend.
I guess it does depend on how long they dated and how important the person was to them...but generally I'd run a mile before I'd date some guy my friend had been with before. It's like...his **** has been in her ******....eeeurghh yuck it's like thinking about your parents having sex lol

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
