It is like in English.

The direct object is the object that the verb is acting on. Throw the money.

The indirect object is the recipient of that entire phrase. Throw the money at me.

Dámelo - give (dar) it (lo) to me (me)

dar is the verb.

lo is the direct object, the thing that is being given.

me is the indirect object, the recipient of the verb phrase.
