I am unable to load 2 custom capes on the beaglebone black running the current Debian release. I tried the procedure described here: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Loading_custom_capes.

I can load a cape during boot using the capemgr file; however when I put 2 custom capes in this file it only loads the first cape. How can I load 2 custom capes?

I ran into this same problem. I listed CAPE= twice with two different overlays and only the second one loaded. 

CAPE=BB-W1
CAPE=BB-SPI0-01

This is beacause CAPE variable is change to BB_SPI0-01 after second line and only this one is loaded

Solution: Add overlays with comma separated in CAPE line as shown below: 

CAPE=BB-W1,BB-SPI0-01

Now it will load both the overlay.
