We consider the problem of constructing multiple conditional randomization tests. They may test different causal hypotheses but always aim to be nearly independent, allowing the randomization p-values to be interpreted individually and combined using standard methods. We start with a simple, sequential construction of such tests, and then discuss its application to lagged treatment effect in stepped-wedge trials, and spillover effect in randomized trials with interference. Finally, we provide a sufficient condition for creating multiple nearly independent conditional randomization tests.
