hey pete

so if you have the number of locations set to > 1 in Administer CiviCRM > Global Setting > Address Settings, then they should automatically show up on the view screen IF there is info in the additional locations.

so if you edit a contact and they have a work and home location, the primary one will show up (expanded) and the second one will show up underneath. The second one won't be expanded initially, but you just have to click the + sign.

am assuming your billing location is showing up because there is some data in that location (that's what it does on mine and the demo). if you remove the data it won't show up.

if you want it to be expanded (the second location), you should probably be able to edit the template file  templates/CRM/Contact/Page/View/Tabbed.tpl

I think you need to adjust this line:
    <a href="#" onclick="hide('location_{$locationIndex}'); show('location_{$locationIndex}'); return false;"><img src="{$config->resourceBase}i/TreeMinus.gif" class="action-icon" alt="{ts}close section{/ts}"/></a>{$loc.location_type}{if $loc.name} - {$loc.name}{/if}{if $locationIndex eq 1} {ts}(primary location){/ts}{/if}

but in my quick scan i couldn't get it work right. maybe someone can give the answer on that....

a dirty way to do it is to adjust the CiviCRM core file (which is not recommended). But if you really wanted to, you would need to edit
<civicrm_root>/CRM/Contact/Page/View/Tabbed.php

and change:
  if ( array_key_exists( 'location', $defaults ) ) {
            $numLocations = count( $defaults['location'] );
            if ( $numLocations > 0 ) {
                $showHide->addShow( 'location_1' );
                $showHide->addHide( 'location_1_show' );
            }
            for ( $i = 1; $i < $numLocations; $i++ ) {
                $locationIndex = $i + 1;
                $showHide->addShow( "location_{$locationIndex}_show" );
                $showHide->addHide( "location_{$locationIndex}" );
            }
       
to:
if ( array_key_exists( 'location', $defaults ) ) {
            $numLocations = count( $defaults['location'] );
            if ( $numLocations > 0 ) {
                $showHide->addShow( 'location_1' );
               // $showHide->addHide( 'location_1_show' );
            }
            for ( $i = 1; $i < $numLocations; $i++ ) {
                $locationIndex = $i + 1;
                $showHide->addShow( "location_{$locationIndex}" );
               // $showHide->addHide( "location_{$locationIndex}" );
            }
That might not be the best way to do it, so you should look at it a little further. I just know that it's dirty but appears to work
