I don't know what non native english speakers are taught, nor can I address the folks across the pond, but here in the Us at least, has denotes currently exists, while had indicates past tense, I.E. no longer exists.  Combining the two is where it gets dicy, and is generally avoided for syntactical reasons.

"has had" ?

AKAIK "has"

I still used it yesterday.

English is not my native language, but I think "has had" means it still has it. If I had said "had" instead of "has had", it would mean it had it in the past, but no longer has it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Meh. FPC has had a Turbo Pascal-like console IDE for many years. It uses Free Vision, which is a pascal port of the C++ version of Turbo Vision (because Borland didn't release their Pascal version under a free/open source license).
