Answers.Text: Hey Pete -- we initially thought this was the cause too, that's why I included the screenshot -- you can see the Organization is actually inheriting its own membership, not from someone else in the relationship.
  
  The relationship is quite basic -- we used the default Employee of / Employer of.(and it is the only type of permissioned relationship we're using).

Answers.Text: Hi Alex - that doesn't quite answer my question. I want the screenshot of the equivalent of this page http://d46.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/member/membershipType/add?action=update&id=1&reset=1 and to know what is set as "Relationship Type = (eg) Head of Household is". I suspect you have it set to 'employee of' and i am suggesting if so that it should be set to 'employer of'. hope that helps

Answers.Text: Hi Pete -- understood. Are you saying there should only be one relationship selected? In the "Relationship Type" we have, "Member of" (the contact), and Organization of (the organization). Is that our mistake... we selected 2 relationships in the Membership Type.

Answers.Body: <p>I have something like this happening with parent/child relationships.</p>
  
  <p>Relationship type of the membership is defined as "Parent of" and "Partner of"</p>
  
  <p>When entering children and setting relationship as child of both parents (and parents are marked as being partners of each other), they are inheriting the membership from both parents and membership is showing up twice. Would be cool if it would only inherit from the primary member.</p>

  It could be that you have the Relationship setting on the Membership Type wired back to front. Can you pls provide details of the settings on the Membership Type, ie are you using Employer of, or Employee of, or something else, and please make it clear which is Contact A and Contact B in the Relationships
