Certainly.

Examples:

-Mike wants to learn to play tennis.

-The witness intends to refuse to testify.

Thanks for the examples.

Could you tell the rule to identify the correct usage of two infinitives used together in a sentence?

Also, could you tell what second infinitive is modifying in case of two infinitives placed together?
