We show that the Casson knot invariant, linking number and Milnor's triple
linking number, together with a certain 2-string link invariant $V_2$, are
necessary and sufficient to express any string link Vassiliev invariant of
order two. Explicit combinatorial formulas are given for these invariants. This
result is applied to the theory of claspers for string links.
