Multiple TODO states

Multiple TODO states

Dear all,

I'm wondering if it is possible for an item to have multiple todo state,
like:
  Physics:    *ACTIVE* *MOBILE* Quantum optics                   *
:Optics::Video:MITC:ACTIVE:*

--------------TODO
-----------------------------------------TAG

For I defined a todo sequence like:

(sequence "QUEUE(q)" "NEXT(n)" "ACTIVE(a)" "|" "DONE(d)")

to indicate the state of task.

However I also prefer to have some context with them, so I defined more todo
state:

              (sequence "MOBILE" "|")
              (sequence "AUDIO" "|")
              (sequence "CAR" "|")
              (sequence "TIMEBOX" "|")
              (sequence "RECUR-DAILY" "|")
              (sequence "RECUR-DUALLY" "|")
              (sequence "RECUR-TRIPLY" "|")
              (sequence "RECUR-WEEKLY" "|")

But seems Org refuse to put multiple todo state on the same item.

And the reason I do not like to put these context into tag, is that I think
these contexts are related to how I finish things, but the tags like "Math
Physics" is more about the content of the item.

So anyone has suggestions?

Thanks,

Chao

Multiple simultaneous TODO states are currently not supported.
You should add extra context information as tags instead.

Tags are normally used for context.
