But as you do a onChange="checkout.submit()" it is only possible to set 1 of 
the shipping methods, as it will submit the page the moment you touch one of 
the 2 selects (xyz or abc) ... Of course I'm having limited info here, but 
if you say that people can select different shipping methods for different 
carts and I assume the xyz and abc are related to carts then there is only 1 
that will be taken ..   I'd probably help if you would c&p the HTML snippet 
here as there might lie the problem which you're overlooking ...
