Wiring for a spa (240v)

GFCI Question (Wiring for a spa)
I think I bought the wrong spa disconnect panel. I picked up this one: http://www.connecticut-electric.com/spa.asp
It appears that the GFCI only protects the 120 volt branch circuit. It is rated for 20 amps/125 volts.
I liked the idea of the additional 120 volt leg as I can use it to supply power to the shed I am going to build. But I need GFCI protection for the spa.
Can I just use a GFCI breaker in the main panel to power the spa panel? Or does the fact that the spa panel, which already has a GFCI in it, negate that route?
Basically, I am asking if it is OK to have 2 GFCIs on one circuit? I want to use the d/c panel if I can, if not, I'll get another.
TIA
