how to use businesshours in triggers, need to exclude the holidays while counting the business hours

how to use business hours in triggers, need to excluide the holidays while counting the business hours, need to get previous working date which excludes the custom holidays if any and count 2 days other than holidays and week days

 
Order Due Date : Sunday, March 10, 2013

 
I need to get its previous working date which would be Friday, March 08,2013. 

 
Also I want to make sure that if Friday was an holiday then it should return me Thursday, March 07,2013. 

 
I have already looked at the business hours class  (http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_classes_businesshours.htm)
 
I was able to get the next buisiness day but not the previous buiseness day.
 
This is very urgent, I will appreciate if some one can provide me sample code for this.
 
Thanks
