The PrC Whisperknife has an ability called Superior Catch (Races of the Wild, p. 136):
When you reach 8th level, your improved catch ability is extended. You can use two returning weapons for two attacks each in a single round, or you can use one returning weapon for three attacks in the same round, as long as your target is no farther away than one range increment. (If your target is farther away than one range increment, you can still use your superior catch ability, but only for a single attack each turn.)
Now, suppose an eighth-level Whisperknife is using a single thrown weapon with both the Returning and Speed abilities. Here's the description of Speed (DMG, p. 225):
When making a full attack action, the wielder of a speed weapon may make one extra attack with it. The attack uses the wielder’s full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This benefit is not cumulative with similar effects, such as a haste spell.) Or suppose the Whisperknife is hasted. Would he be able to attack four times in the same round with the same thrown weapon?
