I don't really understand what you mean.
 
The Jungholz situation IS just TWO countries.
 
Can you draw a simple map?

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Spiro-Quadripoints

All of you sure know the Jungholz enclave, surrounded by Germany and bound
to Austria via a quadripoint on top of Sorgschrofen. This is unique in that
it is the only one (? or another one at Namibia/Sambia/Botswana...?) in this
world where borders of independent countries meet.

There is another uniqueness: Borders of just TWO countries form this
quadripoint. This is only possible in a spiro binding, one border across the
other.

Has anybody seen another spiro quadripoint in this world? The Sastavci
enclave in Bosnia appears to almost fulfill the criteria, but only almost.
