    I would call the manufacturer of the shingles you are about to apply, and make sure the warranty is good.  In doing so, you may answer your question.  As a carpenter, I have seen 3 layers of asphalt over shakes, which I don't think is legal.   Call your local building inspector to remove all doubt.  GL
