Why wouldn't it be ok?

Ron write:
also, they will go out of their way to avoid "X of Y of Z", "X that Y that Z", "X to Y to Z", etc.
we have seen this repeatedly.
in that problem, if you wrote "to plan to practice", you'd create that sort of undesirable repetition. so this makes "to plan on practicing" more acceptable than it otherwise would be.

So how about that sentence with two "to"?

[RonPurewal]

They try to avoid such wordings when it's possible, but they can't always be avoided.

On the other hand, this sentence doesn't make sense with the word "positions" in it. (You can't "make positions to someone" -- that's nonsense.)
Are you sure it's not supposed to say "petitions"?
