Is it possible? Or any workarounds like a duplicate contact pair definition with master-slave surface swapped??

Defining two overlapping contact pairs this way would lead to overconstraint but you could deactivate one and activate another with \*MODEL CHANGE (custom keyword) or just run the analysis twice with different contact pair definitions.
