For example, http://word.tips.net/T000104_Footnotes_within_Footnotes.html
That's for item 2. Now to tackle the rest would require some add-on or VBA "CODE"!!! so this is not to tell you that it doesn't exist but when I find folk looking for this, they often are upset that what they want isn't made.
Here's the awful truth. The market for this is pretty tiny. Look at the number of calls for it and consider that most of the calls for this won't pay the amount required to amortize the development.
At least we have VBA but then you are programming and not writing your book, paper or such.

Hi
I'm doing a research project, and finding the MS Word built-in footnote system inadequate.
Any idea of a software that will allow:
1. Two independent sets of fns. For different types of notes - elaboration and reference? I'd like them to both beon the same page, so footnotes and endnotes are not enough.
2. Foodnotes on footnotes - references for footnotes etc.?
3. Double reference to the same fn. If in the article I refer to the same reference, I'd like to just use the smae number twice. E.g. if I quote fn.2 again, after fn.7, I'd like the program to reference back, and not make a new fn.8 (and then I have to write in fn.8 "see fn2 above")
I hope I explained clearly what I'm looking for, and that someone can point me in the right direction.
Thank you
