Perderse algo: 2 direct objects?

Question

My understanding of reflexive verbs is that the subject performs the action on itself, so the subject is also the direct object. With “perderse algo”, are there 2 direct objects as in “Nos lo perdimos.” with the objects “us” and “it”?

Hola Pat
In perderse algo, you're right to think that algo is a direct object, so "lo" in nos lo perdimos would be that direct object. However, nos here is not an object (direct or indirect) - here nos is the pronominal part of the verb (perderse). It's not reflecting an action on themselves, it's part of the meaning of that verb meaning "to miss [something]". Some verbs use reflexive pronouns like this one simply because they need it to convey that meaning. 
Here's a bit more information on pronominal verbs for a further explanation and to see more examples.
I hope it clarifies it.
