I am doing research on buying a contract (or 2 or 10). If I have 2 contracts, each at different resorts, but having the same use year, can I transfer one to the other for purposes of making 11 month reservations? If I have 150 points at each, can I transfer 150 from one to the other and book 300 points at 11 months?
 
You will only be able to combine them at the 7 month point if the 2 contracts have different home resorts. You can only book 11 months out at the contracts home resort.
 
Points carry the home resort advantage and not the owner. So points from different resorts can only be used together at 7 months or less.

Transferring is when points go from one membership to another, and not between contracts

You only have two or more memberships if you have different UYs or owners are different, Even then, points maintain their home resort
 
However you can do the bank and/or borrow trick.
For example if you have 150 at AKL and 150 at BLT... bank your AKL points and only use 150 BLT the first year.
Next year, you have 300 AKL to use and bank your 150 BLT. The next year you have 300 BLT and so forth.
I mean borrowing works too though right now limited to 50% of points for borrowing.

Ok, then that way I will have 300 points at each resort in alternating years. That will work.

Could I combine banking and borrowing to end up with as much as 375 points in that example?

Yes if you banked a full year of points and borrowed the current 50% (if it doesn't go up) next year, then yes 375.
If/when it goes back to 100% then could access up to 450 at once (banked, current year and borrowed 100%).
Obviously not every other year, but yes.
