Yes make sure the existing floor is screwed down first and has no movement and then fix as per manufacturers instructions .

Put a glass of water on the floor filled to the brim and walk around it and see if there's much movement. 6mm Hardie backer is a good option how many M2 is there ?

Also if you're on about overboarding your ply floor you should make sure all the joints in the ply are supported with noggins.

The quality of Your work may not have dropped in that time but the quality of ply definitely has .
As i said if you use proper materials ,there is nothing wrong in using ply believe me when i say i have tiled many many floors on ply with no come back ,i don't have a problem with folks using alternative but to say it cannot and must not be used is totally wrong

Okay I think I have come up with a plan. So the floor at the moment is 15mm structural type toung and grove ply as it's a timber built house. So as the 15mm is too thin I am going to cover with 6mm ply screwed down ever 6" and then fit 6mm multi pro tile backer board over the top glued and screwed. Does this sound okay?

It doesn't work quite like that. It's still 15mm with a thin layer of 6mm on top doing nothing.
