Compound Guard Squeeze - A triple suited squeeze, where two suits are
stopped by both opponents. While the defenders attempt to
cooperatively each guard one suit, the declarer discards holding in the suit
retained over the opponent (positioned as the Right Hand Opponent). Finally,
declarer cashes tricks that squeeze the other opponent in the remaining
retained suits.

South cashes two Spades,
forcing opponents to each abandon one minor suit. Let's say on the
first
Spade, West discards
Diamonds and East
discards the Club suit.
Accordingly, since West saved a winning Club, declarer discards a
Club from dummy. On
the second
Spade winner, East was
further squeezed - whichever suit East discards, perhaps
Hearts, will allow
Declarer to win the further
tricks in that suit.
