I don't tell theories, but reallity. Did you try it? I did, the jobs
will wait for each other.

As was stated in another answer, the initiator will ENQ on all dsnames
in the JCL, Allocation will also enq on the true name. This could cause
deadlocks and therefor the job used to fail when the true name could not
be enqueued (IEFxxx Dataset name reservertion unsuccessful, remember
that one?) Later ALLOC00 was enhanced with the SDSN_WAIT
WAITALLOC(YES/NO) parameter to allow allocation to wait for the enq.

No theory, all rereadable in docs.
