I had two questions, as a character in my game is looking at this I'd like some ideas, he already has Cleave, and is looking to get Lunge, 1st question is can he use both at the same time, say there's enemy 1 in front of the PC and enemy 2 behind the first one, can he just anounce cleave and lunge, attack the 1st guy, and then lunge and attack the 2nd? If yes, I assume the 2nd would get cover from the first, right?
Another question would be does the AC penalty stack, since each Cleave and Lunge gives a -2 penalty, does that mean he'd have a -4 penalty to AC? Or should these be considered the same and not stack?

I see no reason why you couldn't combine the two. The player would have to declare the lunge before even rolling, so that's a -2, and he will get the -2 penalty on top of that from cleave.
Thank you for the answer, another question just occured to me, as in this case he'd actually be moving the the 1st enemy's space, would that also provoke an attack of opportunity.

There's no movement involved with cleave or lunge. In cinematic terms, Lunge might involve reaching through another creature's space, but mechanically it doesn't do anything to provoke.
If you were asking about something else, please rephrase the question.
