Two joins on same foreign key

Hi,

I’m fairly new to this database, and have read much discussion on sub-queries.  I’ve seen that they can be great for some queries, and downright slow for others.  I have a table with two foreign keys referencing another table, like:

Table #1

employee_id (pk)

employee_name

Table #2

teamleader_employee_id

backup_employee_id

both fields in table 2 need to do a lookup in table 1 to get the name of the actual employee.  Do I need to use nested queries to accomplish this?  Any help is greatly appreciated!
