Is there a way to refer to the same model multiple times in relationship definitions?

The following works great:

public $belongsTo = [
    'user' => ['Backend\Models\User'],
    'choices' => ['Valaas\Test\Models\Choice', 'key'=>'choice_1_id'],
];

But I'm trying to use the same model to store multiple "choices", like the following:

public $belongsTo = [
    'user' => ['Backend\Models\User'],
    'choice1' => ['Valaas\Test\Models\Choice', 'key'=>'choice_1_id'],
    'choice2' => ['Valaas\Test\Models\Choice', 'key'=>'choice_2_id'],
];

I changed both the fields.yaml and $relationConfg yaml file to reflect the "choice1" and "choice2" keys, but I get this error: "Relation behavior does not contain a definition for 'choices'." Apparently the form field key must be named "choices" after the "Choice" Model? I'm probably going about this the wrong way, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Got it to work eventually using the following code (it's not pretty but whatever):

public $belongsTo = [
    'user' => ['Backend\Models\User'],
    'choices' => ['Valaas\Test\Models\Choice',  'key'=>'choice_1_id'],
    'choices2' => ['Valaas\Test\Models\Choice', 'key'=>'choice_2_id'],
];

If someone can explain why changing "choice1" to "choices" makes the code work, I'd appreciate it.
