Basically, what I want to do is this:

..But it seems that I can't make doors between walls. Is there a way around this? 

[SpiralDimentia]

You should be able to place a door [after building one] on a tile that is right beside a wall.   like..     [WALL][DOOR] or [DOOR][WALL].

The entrance ot my base is always 2 doors. [WALL][DOOR][DOOR][WALL]

Double-doors are eminently possible, as Doors only require 1 orthagonally adjacent wall.

Triple-doors are more problematic & it's probably a better bet to use floodgates or a drawbridge (yes, I know Triples weren't mentioned).

Sorry. I meant buildable walls. From b > C . I cant build doors near those.

[SpiralDimentia]

That's still odd. My current fortress is above ground [some of it, atleast] so it's made of nothing but built walls, and I have doors everywhere in there.

Has the wall actually been constructed? or just queued?

'cos you can't order the installation of doors until the adjacent walls are physically present.

[NecroRebel]

Have your dwarves finished constructing the walls yet? You can't build doors off of blueprints.

Also, there's got to be a floor present for a door to be built. This floor can be constructed or natural, and can also be the top of a wall on the z-level below.

Finally, you probably realize this, but you want to leave a gap in the walls. You can't build doors in the same place as a wall, there has to be an open space for the door to go in.
