Is it possible to have multiple multiline patterns within a filebeat.yml?

For example,

#Set I  
multiline.pattern  
multiline.negate  
multiline.match

#Set II  
multiline.pattern  
multiline.negate  
multiline.match  
multiline.flush\_pattern

Could you give an example of the logs you wanna monitor?
