create a global variable and initialize it to 0
on each back button press increment that variable by 1

A very good way to learn App Inventor or Kodular is to read the free Inventorā€™s Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook App Inventor 2 Book: Create Your Own Android Apps ā€¦ the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book ā€˜teachesā€™ users how to program with AI2 blocks.
There is a free programming course here Course In A Box and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: App Inventor 2 Book: Create Your Own Android Apps
How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here: How do you...? .

Also do the tutorials Our Tutorials! to learn the basics of App Inventor, then try something and follow the Top 5 Tips: How to learn App Inventor

Initialize the variable to 2
And move the open another screen block into an else statement

Then after first button click the variable will decrement and nothing happens, on second button click the screen will be closed
