Stupid question ? Lets say the load limit says 110 lbs if you use two would that mean 220lbs support ??

Maybe, but most likely no. Is it for a suspension? If so don't do it. There are affordable carabiners that will hold around 1000 pounds that is considered a safe working range for suspension systems. Warbonnet and Backwoods Day Dreamer both have them for around 5 bucks each. Well worth the safety margin.

The problem you will have is applying the force aligned perfectly with the major axis of the carabiner (as it is when tested in a laboratory rig).
For instance, I use Paul's AHE straps and cinch buckles on my rigs. The tree end of the strap wraps around the tree trunk and tenrminates in a sewn loop through which I pass a Camp Nano 'biner and then clip it back to the strap. Now, if I was to stack two 'biners back-to-back in the same application I doubt that each would have exactly half the tension applied due to being in contact with the tree or not, and the squeezing forces placed on the 'biners where they are clipped through the sewn loop.
I am a heavy guy, and I have zero desire to fiddle with components that might or might not drop me to the ground. Just ain't worth the aggravation!
