I would not double NAT, I would run the Windoze (or other) machine as the PPPOE host, create a subnet for the wireless, and would run a firewall there. Less than 5 min to set up. Not that double NATing is going to cause any problem other than insane overhead.
And anytime you share with neighbors, putting a high wall around support is recommended. Tell them if something is wrong, it's their problem.

Double-NATting the seecond network? And without firewalling? Naw; I don't think so... Anything that puts the second network *behind* the first one is likely to cause some kind of trouble for someone, somewhere. Believe me when I tell you that you don't want to become tech support for your neighbors.
