I always consider that each note should have a bottom, middle and top octave before you get into doubles. eg.

bottom C - leger line below the staff
middle C - 3rd Space in staff
High C - 2 leger lines above staff
Double C - 6 spaces above

This does mean, however, that 'high' notes finish with 'High F' 4 spaces above the staff, and 'double' notes start with 'Double F#' 5 leger lines above the staff. This is because bottom F# is 3 leger lines below the staff but bottom F is first space on the staff.

Thats my way of thinking anyway, and gives each note a bottom, middle, top, double, triple etc.
