My original take was that they were brother and sister, Ben was
Donna's father, and Doc decided to masquerade as man and wife because
1) the illegimate birth was considered shameful, or
2) just having Ben as the father was considered shameful enough.

The problem is, that doesn't explain the other daughter (unless she's
adopted).  It also raises the question of whether Doc and Eileen
grew up in Twin Peaks or moved there (in the former case, the
masquerade isn't really an option).
