Water cooled PC, looping twice through a single radiator?

Hi guys,
I am looking to do a custom water cooled PC for the first time and I got this radiator : http://www.frozencpu.com/products/14100/ex-rad-283/Aqua...

As you guys can see, this radiator has 3 ins and 3 outs. Does this mean I can set up my loop like this? Res/Pump -> Radiator->CPU->Radiator->GPU->Res/Pump? Frozen Cpu does offer a double circuit that I think may be more suitable but I do not know what are the extra Ins and Outs for on this one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! My final huddle before completing my dream machine!

Thank you.

It seems pretty strange to me why you would want to run it though the same rad twice, you're still getting the same amount of cooling since you can't make more liquid magically pass though the radiator.
A single in and out circuit will do just fine, if it's possible to route tubing through it twice, then that would just mean your pump would be working harder to get the liquid through, I'm pretty sure you won't see a difference in temps on the CPU and GPU just because you haven't hooked the rad up in between them. ;)

It was just a thought since this is my first time and I did not see a multiple ports radiator before :-). Thank you for your answer.
