Processes aren't allowed to call START/STOP in random manner. They
must do a STOP first, if it succeeds do a START.

So lets see it this way:

Process A Process B
STOP
STOP
START (If STOP passed)
START (If STOP passed)

So, Process B tries to STOP/START after governor is Stopped by A.
Now call to STOP for process B will fail as we are already stopped..

Can you explain with this example the problem you are trying to solve?
