I2C connection with OLED Screen and sensor

Hi,
I want to display data, from my LIS3DH accelaration Sensor, on a SH1106 1.3" OLED display.
They both use I2C.
I have run both example codes, which worked fine.
Now I have tried combining these, by copying single lines over.
But as soon, as the second I2C conecction is used, it stops working.

Here I added the the LIS3DH example code into the one from the display. Only the lines 18-37, 101-136 and 153-156 are from the LIS3DH example.

/*********************************************************************
  This is an example for our Monochrome OLEDs based on SH110X drivers

  This example is for a 128x64 size display using I2C to communicate
  3 pins are required to interface (2 I2C and one reset)

Which Arduino are you using?

But as soon, as the second I2C conecction is used, it stops working.

I don't know what any of that means. Identify the particular line in the code that seems to fail, and describe what happens.

I'm not sure what you mean. You've defined the SPI, but each device needs its own unique CS (Chip Select) signal. Many of these signals are active low and are typically labeled as CS. Please post an annotated schematic showing exactly how you have this wired.
