Best Answer

It's not clear what exactly you mean.

You can run two neutrals next to each other as long as you otherwise abide by electrical codes regarding the limits of conductors in an enclosure and gauge size.

You can also use a single neutral return for two circuits if those two circuits are opposite phase, since the net result will be that the neutral never carries more than a single circuit load and may sometimes carry less or even nothing if both circuits are in use.
