You could model that in two separate models, or possibly you could create a new variable that is the combination of the choices. This will have 9 categories (AE, AF, AG, BE, BF, etc), which may be a lot for the model to estimate, unless you have lots of data. Certainly you'll have a lot of parameter estimates.
