There´s so many config options for sessions that sharing them shouldn ´t be a problem, but from personal experience, I´ve found it a real headache, especially with the double login issue you describe. There are many posts about it, but all addressing slightly different issues.
You could of course experiment with this first, it might prove simpler for you than it did for me. Someone who´s done this should write a case study for the bakery, it´d help a ton of people, and might stop so many posts about this cluttering the group. Just my two cents...
