In this paper we discuss the influence of the deformation of a planet caused by a first satellite on the orbit of a second satellite of the same planet, where both satellites are supposed to be involved in an orbit-orbit resonance. Numerical results are given for seven orbit-orbit resonances in the Solar System.
