Relative clause

Question

Hi everybody

my question is this: Could we have any chance to use two relative clauses in one sentence.

e.g. : The servant ,who was carrying a silver tray which has various plates on, entered the room.

My example may not be well but I hope you understand my point..

by the way ,I know that we can write it this way:
"The servant, who was carrying various plates on a silver tray, entered the room."

But There are some sentences I have to use double relative clauses in a sentence.....

I think your former sentence is all right.

Does that mean we can use the first sentence as a true one,in other words , we can use double or more relative clause in a sentence...

According to logic you can but I am not a teacher or something so wait for the teachers here to help you. Probaby there's a secret grammatical rule...<img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' alt='Emotion: smile'/>

That's right, Redkiddy!!!!
The movie about a pilot who falls in love with an elder lady. He has a friend called 'goose' or something. The movie is called 'TopGun'.

I hope the moderators won't kick us out for this 'irrelevant to grammar' discussion.
