Scenario one is easily avoided by not using conditional clearances relating to the runway, as is the recommended SOP in accordance with EAPPRI 3.0.
Scenario two is always first departure (intersection departure) above the second departure (full lenght). This is based off a conflict search-approach to strip boards. Nothing is in the way for the one above, while the precense of a strip above the full lenght departure indicates that there is something in the way of him departing. Airborne strips are placed above the runway bay in this scenario.
The same positioning is made with vehicles on the runway in the case of issuing line up and wait (vehicle strip above aircraft in runway bay).
