How can I get multiple VPN connections?

About this question

What exactly happens if I connect through two VPN clients on my laptop? For example, I connect using Cisco Any Connect, and then use another VPN client (such as HotSpot Shield or proXPN) to connect through another tunnel.


Will the actual data be decrypted at the first server/site and be in plaintext/visible? I mean, will this happen: data is encrypted at my laptop, sent to server 1, decrypted, then encrypted, sent to server 2 where it's finally decrypted. I doubt it, because the second tunnel is through my client to server 2, not server 1 to server 2.


Or will it be a tunnel in a tunnel? So: data is encrypted and encapsulated twice at my laptop, decrypted at server 1, but is not yet in plaintext, and would be routed to server 2 where it'll be finally decrypted. Or will the laptop simply pick one tunnel (the latter?) for a normal client-to-site VPN? Or will the second connected not even establish in the first place?
