To have it in both but execute once, a yourself tool is an include file in
both sequences. You'll probably find there are other CA that should just be
executed the once e.g.
<?include SharedExecuteActions.wxi ?>
Then in SharedExecuteActions.wxi place a CA that has the condition NOT
SECONDSEQUENCE so it is only executed once:
<Custom Action="MyCA" Before="FindRelatedProducts">
<![CDATA[NOT SECONDSEQUENCE]]>
</Custom>
