No, not in the case mentioned above. If both fouls were by A, they'd have to choose one penalty if the fouls were both during the live ball interval, which would cause the personal foul to be ignored when the previous spot was far behind the point of the foul. If the personal foul was after the ball was dead, the penalty for it would wind up being enforced.
