Reflexive/Objects?

Question

Can you have a indirect object, an direct object, and a reflexive in one sentence? If so, can you provide an example?

Sorry, I'm somewhat bad at Spanish.

"An" indirect..., "a" direct.... just second nature! ;o) - cristalino, Feb 23, 2011

Answer 1

Here's an English example you can think about, and maybe translate:

I made myself breakfast.

Edit:

The more I look at this example the less I like it.

To be reflexive the subject must receive the action of the object. How about,

I give you myself.

That has everything you asked for.

Answer 2

In general, Spanish does not use 3 sequential pronouns (reflexive, i.o.p, d.o.p.) if that is what you are asking. They have other constructions to work around doing so.

pronouns

When there are two object pronouns in a sentence, they will appear in the R.I.D. order: reflexive, indirect, and direct.

Two is the maximum number of pronouns that can occur in a sentence together. The combinations that may occur are reflexive-indirect (rare), reflexive-direct, or indirect-direct.

I don't know about the rare comment unless he is speaking about true reflexive rather than pronominal. See the thread on se me olvidó. This pronominal se may not be what he is talking about when he says reflexive.
