There is some useful information from the mailing list archives on
this topic.
Go to my bug reports page:
http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/bugs.html
and look for the "Common Q&A" box on the left side. Question #2 is
relevant.
Another useful resource might be Chapter 10 from this document
http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/course/notes.pdf
It suggests one simple strategy to the problem of two different
scatterers in the first shell.
In short, just throwing two separate amplitude parameters at the
problem in hopes that the numbers fall out to be physically
interpretable is probably not the best strategy. You want to think of
some way to constrain the amplitude parameters for those two paths
in such a way that embodies the proper physics of the problem.
Once you've read over that material, don't hesitate to ask new
questions to the list.
