Hi,
This has nothing to do with autoyast, first you always have to veify a 
manual install works and if it does then autoyast will have no problems. 
But as I said before, multiple products on one CD is NOT supported and 
wont work, so you better think of some other way to do it.
I also do not understand why you need this, if both trees are from the 
same product, then you can solve this with different selection files.
