I know I can get the second axis handle for plotyy with
[AX,~,~] = plotyy(x1,y1,x2,y2)
and the handle is AX(2) but i use the plotyy function inside another function so AX is deleted because its a local variable
when i use gca (after running the function) in the command window I get what would be AX(1)
So my question is how to get the second axis handle after running the function

AX=findall(0,'type','axes');
AX(2) %what you are looking for?!

You can compare the handles
AX=findall(0,'type','axes');
if AX(1)==gca
MySecondAxes=AX(2)
else
MySecondAxes=AX(1)
end
MySecondAxes %the handle you are interested in (not the current axes)

This also would work:
secondAxes = findobj('Type','axes','Color','none')
