Spanish has tons of double imports from Latin. Words that follow the normal phonetic evolution going from Latin to Spanish, then parallel words re-imported from latin later.
Some I can think of offhand are the ones with the consonant + l -> ll change:
Plano + llano
Clave + llave
Pleno + lleno
I think there are some others where Latin vowels like /o/ or /e/ change to diphthongs like /we/ or /je/ and they get re-imported with /o/ or /e/ again. I can't think of examples of this right now but I am sure they exist. [Edit: foco + fuego is one such example]
Probably others with word initial /f/ put to silent h, then re-imported with an f again.
