vpn chaining/nesting; what do providers see?

I've chained two vpns (openvpn over pptp). Do both providers see where I'm from and what my destination is? Is it possible to nest them so that each provider sees only either the source or destination?

Proxy chaining doesn't do anything but shift the risk to the weakest party involved. If you don't trust the VPN company not to know your identity, then you should not trust them to handle your exit traffic. Presume you did use an intermediary service between you and them. With access to your exit traffic they can discover your identity by watching your traffic and the sites you visit, or evil code injection to cause your VPN connection to leak or phone home outside the VPN.

Breadtan do you confim the second VPN company has only IP of the first one (but with some extra work gets the reall one)?
What exactly did you mean by 'evil code injection' and 'phone home outside the VPN'?
