START_AFTER_TEST allows multiple values separated by comma.
Our need was to have 2 different parent test suites in different job groups and child jobs in same and other job groups.
We trigger jobs for specific scenario and with defined flavor, so it's never the case that we simultaneously trigger two parent jobs with one post isos call.

So we have following scenario:
Job group A contains test suite parent_A and medium SLE12-SP3
Job group B contains test suite parent_B and medium SLE15
Job group C contain child test suite child_AB with medium SLE12-SP3
Job group C contain child test suite child_AB with medium SLE15
child_AB has setting START_AFTER_TEST=parent_A,parent_B
When we do isos post with FLAVOR=SLE12-SP3 we get an error:
error_messages => [
"START_AFTER_TEST=parent_A:64bit not found - check for typos and dependency cycles",
],

When we do isos post with FLAVOR=SLE15 we get an error:
error_messages => [
"START_AFTER_TEST=parent_B:64bit not found - check for typos and dependency cycles",
],

Frankly speaking this is relevant error for some cases and also is the reason why this flow works for us and allows us to have multiple parent test suites and reuse same child test suites for all of them.
