When you have both an indirect object pronoun and a direct object pronoun, you have a double object pronoun. The indirect object always comes first.

¡Dámelo! Give it to me!

Quiero llevártelo. I want to take it to you.

When the indirect and direct object both begin with "l", the indirect object becomes "se".

Quiero traérselo. I want to bring it to him.

Reference

I gave examples using a command and infinitive, where the objects come after te verb. But lacking an imperative, infinitive or gerund, the objects precede the verb, as shown in the above reference.

Buena suerte,

J

A double object pronoun is when a direct object and indirect object are used together in the same sentence.

I assume that you mean that the i.o. and d.o. are i.o.p. and d.o.p. which they need not be. - 0074b507, Jun 24, 2011

Notice that it is: double object pronouns.

A reflexive pronoun with an i.o.p. or d.o.p. does not count.

...se me olvidó...is not a double object pronoun usage
