It can be done.
I have two ponds. One big and one small. They are on different level.
I use only one pump to draw water from the smaller pond to the
waterfalls above the big pond. The overflow from the big pond to the
smaller one is designed that way that as soon as the water level goes
up it overflows.

Good luck,

Last month we finished putting in my pond and waterfall and stream.
Now my husband who didn't even want a pond at all is wanting to put in
a second one.

My question is:

Is it possible to put a second waterfall off the same head pool into a
smaller pond and then connect by hoses and pump the two ponds
together. This would mean the two ponds use the same water. The
sequence would be water pumped from the big pond up to the head pool
which would flow over on two sides one down the water fall to the
stream and fall back into the big pond and the second down a waterfall
into the small pond. The small pond would then have a pump which
pumped water into the big pond. Could this work or would there be
overflow issues?

Any thoughts or ideas on this idea.
