oh wow!!!
say, what if it wasn't a surge protector strip?

I think daisy chaining two power strips should work, provided that the total power draw does not exceed what the wall outlet can safely provide.

plug the one in that is not surge in the surge and you should be fine as geofelt said as long as you do not overload the socket you should be fine.

NEVER, EVER, daisy chain power strips or use extension cords with power strips. In addition, never plug high current draw devices, such as laser printers into a power strip. This is simple electrical and fire safety children.

As a firefighter, I have literally seen people burn down their house doing this.

Agree with the preceding two posts.

No daisy chaining.

And with some of the low end, low quality, cheap, substandard, counterfiet, falsely "certified", etc., etc., power strips/surge protectors that are all too often being sold both on and off line - a single unit of either sort is likely to be risky.

Stay with known manufacturers/brands, look for legitimate UL certifications, and buy from reliable sources. Not easily done in some places.

Keep out of the discount bins!
