      Triggers can fire twice, once before workflows and once after workflows -

      “The before and after triggers fire one more time only if something needs to be updated. If the fields have already been set to a value, the triggers are not fired again.”

      Workaround:

      Add a static boolean variable to a class, and check its value within the affected triggers.

      view source
      print?
      public class HelperClass {
      public static boolean firstRun = true;
      }
      trigger affectedTrigger on Account (before delete, after delete, after undelete) {
      if(Trigger.isBefore){
      if(Trigger.isDelete){
      if(HelperClass.firstRun){
      Trigger.old[0].addError('Before Account Delete Error');
      HelperClass.firstRun=false;
      }
      }
      }
      }

      Triggers can fire twice, once before workflows and once after workflows, so must follow the best practice and order of execution of trigger.
