Just wondering what you play against the Multi in these situations. Opponents' 2♦ opening is either a Weak Two ♥ or a Weak Two ♠ or certain strong hands. In response, they play 3♥ as invitational with supporting values in both majors.
(1) (2♦) - pass - (3♥) - ?
(2) (2♦) - pass - (3♥) - 4♦ natural
(pass) - ?

I would play X as take out of Hearts, just because I always play take out doubles.
I would play 4 Diamond as natural and gameforcing, but I doubt that this view is mainstream. Another idea is to play it as non leaping michales (Spades and diamonds) and bid 5 Diamonds with a good diamond hand.

Whatever you play against a 3♥ opening.
If 4♦ is natural I would play 4M responses as natural. Whether it should promise a 6-card or just 5+ I don't know.

My agreement is to defend as if opponents have a 3♥-opening. This means that 4♦ is two-suited ♦+♠ and GF.

3♥ as invitational is a strange agreement...
(1) dbl = t/o of ♠; 3♠ = t/o of ♥; else natural
(2) 4M = cue

Right. I would no trust that to be the agreement unless I've heard it from both opps.

What I usually play is in direct seat we bid like it's a 2♥ opening, while in 4th seat we bid like when opener will pass.
In this case, we consider the auction 2♦-p-3♥ like it went 2♥-p-3♥. So Dbl is takeout with short ♥.
