Timers wait for eachother

How can i set timers to wait for each other if another is running? The documentation says if a timer wants to start with a lower thread priority it wont be running at all.

What i am looking for is a script with multiple "timers" one that goes approx each 15 minutes, one each 30 minutes one each 45 minutes, etc. These are all fairly long methods with a run time of a minute or two. They can not be run at the same time so they have to wait for each other if one is already running.

   KeyWait, % A_ThisHotkey

Use one 15 minute timer and use a counter to launch process 2 and 3. Groet, Robert

If (Mod(A_Index, 2) = 0)
  Do Loop 2
If (Mod(A_Index, 3) = 0)
  Do Loop 3
