Answer 1

You can attach them with positive commands, but not negative commands.

¡Dígamelo! Tell me it!

¡No me lo diga! Don't say it to me!

Answer 2

Welcome to the open forum:

If you are looking to use both DOP and IOP in a positive command…always remember Indirect before Direct…and reflexive first of all. (IDR)

So, if you are giving a direct command such as “tell him it” Both the DOP and the IOP are attached to the command. Example: Dígaselo. The “se” is the indirect object pronoun, and the “lo” is the direct object pronoun.

Whenever you are giving a negative command, the Indirect and Direct object pronouns go before the conjugated command form…but, are not attached. Example: No se lo diga. Don’t tell him it.
