Hi Laurynas,

Just use a tags-todo filter and list both.

("n" "Next and Started tasks" tags-todo "-WAITING-CANCELLED/!NEXT|STARTED"
               ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Next Tasks")))

This looks for all todo tasks that do not have a WAITING or CANCELLED
tag and have a todo keyword matching NEXT or STARTED.

You probably want something like this

C-c a M tag1|tag2/!TODO

("x" "Todo tasks for tag1 or tag2" tags-todo "tag1|tag2/!TODO")
               ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Todo tasks for tag1 or tag2")))

HTH,
Bernt
