Two DD's?

Just to let you know, I was posting under the name Kathy King but 
will now be using my alternate yahoo name of snow15145. I had a lot 
of trouble bouncing under that account, made me feel a bit like Draco 
as the ferret.  
Not being able to comment or post anything for a while, I've been 
rereading slowly which has raised a few questions I would like to 
have your opinion on. The first is about the diary in COS.

If Diary Tom would have completed the transformation and was now 
alive, wouldn't there have been two Tom Riddle's, the Diary
Tom and 
the spirit of Voldemort that was residing in Albania? 

Also,If Tom Riddle could preserve himself in a diary at sixteen why 
couldn't DD have done something similar? Marchbanks said that
when 
she tested DD during his NEWTs exams, he had done things with a wand 
she had never seen. What if DD is a whole lot older or younger than 
150? Lets say that at some point in time DD preserved himself as a 
youngster. Then the older DD teaches the young preserved DD all that 
he knows so that the younger DD has knowledge well beyond his years 
when he takes his NEWTs. This new DD would only be seventeen but have 
the mind of a much older person. It is almost as complicated a theory 
as the time-turner situation. Although in this case the older DD 
would be aware of his younger preserved self (unlike the time-turner) 
and would not have been confused into the situation of killing the 
other him. It's not actually time travel.

This could also be the answer to how DD worked with Nicholas Flammel. 
If the older DD was say 150 years old, or older, when he taught the 
younger version of himself everything he knew, (possibly through the 
pensieve) the younger DD could precede with all the knowledge of his 
former self. Now that the younger DD is 150 but has the intellect of 
a person of 300 or better, and knows of the procedure of 
preservation, couldn't this younger counterpart have again
preserved 
himself? This operation could make a person extremely dangerous and a 
bit all knowing. This would also allow his past self, being much 
older, to have worked alongside Flammel at the appropriate age but 
still allow for the DD to follow the privilege of saying that he 
worked with Flammel. It wouldn't be a lie just a far stretched
truth. 
Sounds a bit like DD, all knowing but never telling.
