I'm looking at using the Chain Lash from Savage Species.

I fnd the entry a little confusing.

My understanding of the CL is...

Can be used as a Double or Reach weapon.
As a Double Weapon, it can only be used against adjacent foes.
As a reach weapon, you can also use it against adjacent foes, but not as a double weapon. It sounds like you have to choose which way you're going to use it for that round.

My questions are...
If I use it in my action as a double weapon, does that mean I can't make a reach AOO?
If using it in my action as a reach weapon, does that mean I only get one attack (assuming I have 1 attack as part of my normal BAB)?
I assume this means I can't make 2 normal attacks (Meduim creature using TWF) at both 5 and 10ft in the same round?

Many thanks.

Yes - if you use it as a double weapon you don't get reach till you switch it back
If using it in my action as a reach weapon, does that mean I only get one attack (assuming I have 1 attack as part of my normal BAB)?
Yes, if using it as a reach weapon you can not make use of the TWF power
I assume this means I can't make 2 normal attacks (Meduim creature using TWF) at both 5 and 10ft in the same round?
Correct, if your BAB is 5, you could not attack a creature at 5ft and another at 10ft with this weapon
