Some states....only allow towing a second trailer if the first is a 5th wheel. Check the laws of the states you are interested in.
This is typically the only allowed configuration. As suggested, check the laws for not only your state, but every state in which you intend to tow through.
The State Law Towing Guide from Hitchemup.com is one place to look for a combined table. If you open the clickable map from TowingWorld.com you can browse state by state for detailed information on legal towing configurations.

DO NOT trust any list of towing laws! I have yet to see one of them on the internet that could be trusted. Of course, I only look at Montana because this state is what I am most familiar with. EVERY list I have seen is WRONG!! From maximum length to towing speed to towed vehicle brakes; WRONG! Even the maximum daytime speed limit on the freeways is WRONG! They have an excuse there, though, they just haven't got around to changing their list since the law changed.
In Montana, a truck/trailer/trailer combination with two ball hitches is legal. The maximum length is 75 feet for such a combination.
