Defining two custom joints for a body

Hi,
I am required to create a custom scenario for an experiment, where I have 2 bodies a and b.
a and b are connected to their respective parent bodies. I am now required to join a and b together.
I tried defining a second custom joint under a (or b), but it did not result in a joint.
Is there another way of defining more than one custom joint?
Thanks

Each body can have at most one joint. The convention that is used is that the joint definition is included in the child body. For your problem you should include the joint that connects b to a into the definition of b.

I've come across this problem in the past and I used either a weld or point constraint to connect two bodies that have already been assigned joints.

Good luck!
