I installed a patch in `emacs-24' which will let you add the same
function multiple times, as long as you specify different `name'
properties for each one.

With the new code, you can remove each one individually by specifying
its `name', or you can remove them all by specifying the function itself.

Evalling:
(progn
  (defun yfcheck () (message "Check"))
  (defun yftest () (message "Test"))
  (advice-add 'yftest :before #'yfcheck)
  (advice-add 'yftest :after #'yfcheck)
  (yftest)
  nil)

gives (in the *Messages* buffer)
Test
Check

I'd have expected:
Check
Test
Check
