Well, I've tried it long ago and it doesn't.  When config.sys is run,
the shell lines are the only ones which aren't carried out
immediately, instead they are copied to a buffer, every one overwritig
the last one so you only run the last shell

On dos 4.XX you can do:

Install=prog1
Install=prog2
Shell=command.com
