You dont and can not render the walls in a scratch coat and the next day a top coat ...for starters you would end up a very poor (financially) plasterer. :D The wall is coated and as you finish, it has taken up enough to apply a second but thinner coat which will rule nicely ...left an hour it will float, devil float and skim the following day...Job done
This section of wall was done in the same manner ...for it to happen once is odd but for it to happen the second time in exactly the same place is a mystery. Should it be taken off a third time it would doubtless happen again though precautionary tactics employed ie scudding and scratching hopefully it would be ok.
 
So as not to confuse the issue the method described above would as Freddie said be construed as a one coat as itv is done one straight on top of the other rather than being left for any period of time.
 
i didnt say leave till the next day, a tight scratch coat then float once its pulled in and skim the next day.
