fmincon nonlinear constraints

when using fmincon, can you only have one nonlinear constraint for "c".
I am doing an optimization that requires analysis on both deflection (Da - D <= 0) and bending stress (sig - siga <= 0). Can I go ahead and just have:
function [def,bend,ceq] = mycon(x) % called in fmincon function def = ... bend = ... ceq = [] end
that will take both of those constraints into account, or do I somehow have to combine them? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Which version of MATLAB are you using? I'm asking because in the most recent version, the function that encapsulates the non-linear constraints should only have 2 returns: [c,ceq]

If you concatenate them, C could contain both constraint matrices?
