I think you need to change the design of your database. Take a step back and ask yourself.

What tables can I merge and what tables can I get rid of?

If you database is no longer 100% 3nf who cares. You should not have to do 2 joins in a single query. You really want to avoid as many joins as possible as they will slow down your querys a greay deal once the database gets some size to it.
