me te or te me ?

Like with the verb "presentar", it is possible to see the weird ( to me at least) combination of "me te" or "te me"; are there any other verbs which one would commonly see this combination ?

It has nothing to do with the verb. In standard Spanish, the pronoun 'se' always comes first, and the indirect object pronoun must precede the direct one.

Here is a thread that says you never say "me te".

This looks weird to me as well. But anytime "me" is the direct object and "te" is the indirect object, or vice versa, this can happen.

Pronominal verbs use a reflexive pronoun so none of them would fit the i,o.p./d.o.p. situation that you described. (all 3 object pronouns used together is extremely rare). - 0074b507, Aug 24, 2011

Here is a discussion of the use of rules to determine the order of clitics and ways in which they fail to work.
