I agree with IHeartAvatars, you'd only get one bending ability but have a kind of recessive gene for the other.

So the more overpowering bending ability would take precedence (gues which order it's in?), like so: Water => Earth => Air => Fire

And that's why Aang/Katara have an airbender, even though they're both benders - because air overpowers water as it's later in the cycle.
