There's no script (or whatsoever) in this backup functionality.
It's only rsnapshot [1] (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Rsnapshot) and
systemd-timer [2] involved.

Agreed that is a problem with this approach.
Or you have the code that locks wait for the lock to be freed does that
help?
Are you using flock in the script, then its a easy change.
You still cannot ensure the order, but you can ensure that they will
all run sequentially.
Personally I encode the rules for my incremental vs. full backup into
my hourly backups script.
So I only have one timer.
