Spaghetti, and why would you want to bid 3?

" Partner either has a minimum takeout double with support for all suits (so 1S should be fine), or some kind of a strong hand that will force me again [ so I'd like to be able to show my 2nd ( equal length ) Major without reversing ]. "

3S - ( p ) - 4D! - ( p )

Had a similar auction recently, I opened 3 and partner passed the takeout double with 54 in the majors, AQ of diamonds, and an 18-count. Opponent bid 4 with 3-3 in the majors and a balancedish 10 count, so he didn't have to guess which major to choose. Partner doubled 4 which went for 1400 :) That was obviously worse than 3 doubled plus 1.
