The alt() option identifies the values of the outcome variable, and
these values have to be mutually exclusive.

Clearly you have two choices being made. 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.
