Meaning wise, what is the difference in the usage of
1. Past perfect continuous
2. Past perfect (other than it represents double past)
3. Past continuous
I feel, please correct and add to the comment
1. Past perfect continuous - represents a ’period of time’ with definite time frame
2. Past perfect (other than it represents double past) - represents a moment of time
3. Past continuous - represents period of time but with indefinite time frame, so when a year is mentioned and event is for a period of time eg. A (had been) investing in B for several years, till 2008, we will use past perfect continous due to period + definite time frame.

Both past perfect and past perfect continuous indicate past of past, or, in your words, 'double past'.
Past Perfect indicates a state or a single action. Past Perfect Continuous indicates a continuing action.
This is the start of the Wikipedia article about Perfect Tenses:
Quote:
So Present Perfect is earlier than present, and Past Perfect is earlier than Past.
