The metal block spreads the weight between the two poles.

The Treehouse at Amberley Castle Hotel in Sussex is awesome - I've eaten in there too.

Yeah but only 1 pole is attached to the tree house  , the extra weight the second lower pole is taking doesn't disapear into thin air.

I suggest you watch Planet Earth - People of the jungle.
the tree houses they build are out of this world, especially with the lack of tools and safety gear they have.

Top pole can't deflect without bending the lower beam, its much stronger

So where does the weight go....through the top pole
You can't spread weight out in this case.

the weight goes down the tree, this really is simple in my head.
it works like an I-beam in theory, also a bit of cantilever effect there
