This would suggest only one restraint is allowed (which is confirmed in
tests that I've recently seen).
What I would suggest doing is setting up a steered MD simulation whose
reaction coordinate is not a simple distance, but rather a linear
combination of multiple distances. For instance, for a proton shuttle
between two atoms, you may make the reaction coordinate the difference
between two distances (the distance between the H and the atom it's
transferring TO minus the distance between the the H and the atom it's
transferring FROM).
