You are right, in limology (geographic sub-discipline interested in borders,
limits and frontiers) the term "doubly-landlocked" means a political piece
of land (countries, but also partners in federations, as states, provinces,
cantons or autonomous republics, and so on) in the world that the citizens
from those and their merchandises have to traverse two other countries (or
states...) to reach the free sea (so Caspian does not count), even by rivers
or by the air (ex: Utah, Szechuan, Rondonia, Lucern or Bayern). The only
utility I have found for this term is for quizz, but the concept reveal a
very complicated level of economic dependance of such a doubly-landlocked
place with respect to its neighbours.
The second doubly-landlocked country is a european principalty in a valley.
