If in the "Rule" pane of a filter, you put
String Location Presence
A header-Y Yes
B header-X Yes
then the relationship is "And".

This can't be done without making use of the "Alternative" pane,
like this:
The "Rule" pane:
String Location Presence
A header-Y Yes
The "Alternative" pane:
String Location Presence
B header-X Yes
All rule "sets" in the alternative pane are, well, alternatives.
I.e., their relationship with one another, which is the same as
their relationship with the only rule set in the "Rule" pane, is
"OR". IOW, inside a rule set, the conditions are linked with "AND",
while rule sets are linked with "OR".
The only way to use "OR" in a rule set is the pipe character "|". It
can be used only when the two (or more) conditions are checking
different strings in the same header field, like:
String Location Presence
A|B header-X Yes
which instructs TB to find "A" or "B" in header-X.
The FAQ (http://www.marckp.redhotant.com/thebat/faq.html) has a "How
do I" section which provides an in-depth guide to the filtering
capabilities of TB.

Use the "Kludges", like
String Location Presence
Reply-to=A Kludges Yes
IOW, when searching in Kludges, you may include the header field
identifier.
