We report detailed neutron scattering studies on ${\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}{\mathrm{Cl}}_{2}$. The compound consists of two interpenetrating sublattices of Cu, labeled as ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{\mathrm{A}}$ and ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{\mathrm{B}}$, each of which forms a square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The two sublattices order at different temperatures and effective exchange couplings within the sublattices differ by an order of magnitude. …
