ETAP Parallel Feeding Breakers , TCCs and Coordination

The problem I have is that the TCC for Main Sub Incomer1 and Main Sub Incomer2 (Two parallel breakers) are below the TCCs for FNC Feeder Relay and Furnace Incomer Relay. With both Main Sub incomers closed this should not be the case as they will share the current flowing to the Furnace load. We need to coordinate the breaker with both Main Sub Incomers closed.

For now I have combined all parallel breakers as one so that I could get an idea of the settings, but this is obviously not ideal.

I was wonder if there is a better way to do this.

If you look a the example in the Third Edition of the Protective Relay Application Guide (PRAG), 1987 you will see that they combine that current for the two parallel relays 1 and 2 on the TCC. (red line third from the right)
