You could make a configuration option, e.g. something like
 
Require both dependencies to start:
 
<bean name="A" mode="On Demand">
   <property name="b"><inject bean="B" transitive-start="required"/></property>
   <property name="c"><inject bean="C" transitive-start="required"/></property>
<bean>
 
Any one
 
<bean name="A" mode="On Demand">
   <property name="b"><inject bean="B" transitive-start="optional"/></property>
   <property name="c"><inject bean="C" transitive-start="optional"/></property>
<bean>
 

But unless starting A triggers some other knock-on effects, the second example is likely to stall with a missing dependency anyway. ;-)
So I think you'd probably want all the dependencies marked transitive-start anyway?
