Create two widget-controllers in a theme

[Helenpeng]

I would like to create a theme that has two widget-controllers so some widgets can be in a header area and some widgets in a sidebar area. My two widget-controllers (as the HeaderController and SidebarController) can individually work well. When I tried to merge them together, it appears the problem of double the existing widgets (See the screenshot). I wonder if it is possible to create two widget-controllers in one theme. If so, how to make two controllers contain different widgets within two panels.

To make the desired layout, I also tried to customize Tab Theme and moved Search widget in the header area, which is getting what we want (See the second screenshot attached). But I cannot add more widgets in the header area. I think it would be nice to add two widget-controllers in a theme to make the desire layout. I wonder if this would be possible.

I attach my zip files for HeaderController and SidebarController.

Thanks,

Helen

Mark,

It has not been figured out yet. I see the similar question in the other community(below). No answer either. 

If you find out the solution, please share with us. Thanks.
