Going back-and-forth between Belgium and Germany on a Schengen visa
I have a Schengen visa valid from October 1st to October 30th 2014. First country of visit is Belgium and after I want to go for Germany. It is possible to go back to Belgium after Germany?

It's not a problem. As long as you don't exceed your visa's maximum stay or period of validity, you can stay in the Schengen area and crossing internal borders (borders between Schengen countries) does not make any difference. In all likelihood, you won't even see a border guard when traveling between Belgium and Germany.
Your visa will also have a specific number of allowed entries (1, 2 or ‘MULT’ for “multiple entries”, which means no limit) but that's only relevant when crossing external borders (borders between a Schengen country and some other country that is not part of the Schengen area).

Can you transit through 2 Schengen countries?
No. Long stay visa or residence permit issued by a Schengen Agreement State allows you to travel or stay in other countries of Schengen area during the maximum period of \u201cshort stay visit\u201d (staying not more than 90 days within a period of 180 days).Can I visit multiple countries with Schengen visa?
Yes. According to the Schengen rules, the Schengen visa is generally valid for all the countries in the Schengen area.Can I have 2 Schengen visas at the same time?
In theory, it is not possible for a person to hold two valid short stay visas covering the same period. I have a valid Schengen visa but it does not cover my next intended stay, what can I do? In this case, it is possible to file a visa application for another Schengen visa to cover the next intended stay entirely.Can I leaving Schengen Area and returning?
Once you leave, you cannot return to Spain (or Schengen) without a visa until a further 90 days have gone by. For example, if you have spent 90 days in total in Spain and leave on June 29th, you cannot go back without a visa until at least September 28th.THE SCHENGEN ZONE TRAVEL EXPLAINED - DIGITAL NOMAD TV
