Can I have different sections with same place holder in Sitecore

Question

Below is my sublayout called SectionWrapper

<section>
    <sc:Placeholder ID="phSectionWrapper" runat="server" Key="phSectionWrapper" />
    <a href="#">check this</a>
</section>

I want to achieve is multiple "sections" with different placeholders like

<section>
    <caraousal 1 />
    <a href="#">check this</a>
</section>
<section>
    <caraousal 2 />
    <a href="#">check this</a>
</section>

But it's now rendering as

<section>
    <caraousal 1 />
    <a href="#">check this</a>
    <caraousal 2 />
</section>
<section>
    <a href="#">check this</a>
</section>

My presentation details are configured on item as below:

SectionWrapper (with some placeholder)
caraousal1 (with placeholder as phSectionWrapper)
SectionWrapper (with some placeholder)
caraousal2 (with placeholder as phSectionWrapper)

Placeholder keys must be unique on the page. You cannot have 2 placeholders on the same page with the same key - Sitecore will not know in which of them should put the components.

Check Sitecore Dynamic Placeholders - from what I remember there are multiple implementations ready to use, e.g.:
