Keoke--
With all due respect I said that the fuse protects the wire--not visa versa.
Put simply, a fuse (or circuit breaker) is a sacrificial piece of the wiring or circuitry, its current-carrying capacity purposely designed to be less than that of the wire so that in case of an overload it will fail or trip and protect both the circuit and the appliance at its end.
I'm sure it has been done but I have never used two fuses and I like to place fuses as close as possible to the power source. One ca, btw, place a heavy fusible link between the battery and the fuse block or breaker panel, thus protecting all wires back to the battery itself.
