Continuing the discussion from Circuitpython 3.5" arduino breakout board display and sdcard doesn't work:
Finally I found a way to avoid duplication of the spi between the display and the sd card. It does not follow the recommendation by adafruit as that duplicates the spi declaration.
It does not follow the adafruit recommendation which causes the duplicate declaration of the spi.
My solution is highlighted in the attached code. Hopefully this helpful to others with this difficulty.
