Double feast meant originally a real double office: the ferial office and
the feast office, or even the feast office and a lesser feast office.
Later, the ferial office was completely suppressed by "double"
feasts, and a system of "memoriae" was instituted for concurrent
feasts. E.g., many times you have second vespers of a feast up to
the "capitulum", then the following according to the next feast, with
the memoria of the former. Usually, a memoria implyes that after the
Gospel Canticle and Collecta of the day one has to sing the Canticle
Antiphon of the memoria with a verse and its collecta.
Some memoriae were celebrated every day.
I don't think there was two complines.
Post tridentine breviarys have a codified set of rules (very complicated)
for every possible case of occurrence of feasts. You could start there
(look at breviarys from before St Pius X)
Avec mes meilleures salutations
