Binary planet eclipses

I know that on a binary planet you would have planetary eclipses (basically like a solar or lunar eclipse but with planets instead of moons).
If there also is a moon, things would be much more complicated.

With a binary planet and 1 moon you could get:

• Double lunar
• Lunar + solar
• Lunar
• Solar
• Double solar

And with the double eclipses you basically have these factoring in:

• Type (partial, penumbral (total but in penumbra), and total for lunar and partial, total, and annular for solar)
• Visibility from planet (both from 1 or 1 from each)
• Periodicity (how periodic the eclipses are - which I think would be almost or absolutely periodic in binary planets)

But would a lunar eclipse generally be visible from each planet and same for solar or would it vary a lot (taking the moon's path into consideration).

I think it would vary a lot since I think the moon would move in a figure 8 around the planets.
