If you create a Wall of fire in a circle, and point the "side" of the wall that does damage on the inside, do the sides overlap? In such a case, i would think that it would meen something that is in the direct center would take 8d4 damage. am i correct in this overlaping idea, or would the unlucky fella just take 2d4 for being withen 10 feet of a side?

It is a good tactic. But it does not cause extra damage.

Like all spells with area effects, the area effect can NOT be doubled. Lighting bolts do not bounce, and being in a confined fireball area does not mean you take double damage cause the fire in constrained.

If you are in the area, you are affected as normal. 2d4, not 8d4.

Do evards black tentacles inside the wall of fire radius first for some heated snuggle parties.

Note that besides taking 2d4 damage/round, the victim within the "Ring of Fire" effect of a Wall of Fire will probably also have to go through the Wall of Fire to get out, taking an add'l 2d6 +1/level of fire damage.
