Currently, when an autoload handler is given the chance to load a class and it does not, maybe another handler will do. Either way, the script will terminate if no handler can find the class or the class will be available after that - so already now it is impossible that any given handler is called twice during the same execution for the same class name.

Maybe I'm missing some weird cases for opcode caches or otherwise embedded PHP though?
