Is it possible to include and exclude via tags on the same karate command line

We can select multiple scenario's by including the following on the command line: -Dcucumber.options="--tags @S1,@S2,@S6"

And if I want to exclude @S6 I can with: -Dcucumber.options="--tags ~@S6"

But if I want to include @S1, @S2 and exclude @S6 all tags are ignored with: -Dcucumber.options="--tags @S1,@S2,~@S6"

and all tags are also ignored if I try to double up on the options with: -Dcucumber.options="--tags @S1,@S2" -Dcucumber.options="--tags ~@S6"

Is there a command line way to include and exclude in the one command line?

The reason I would like to do this is to run all of a type of test but exclude tests that use some external system that may be down temporarily.

EDIT: Turns out I was not fully aware of the difference between AND and OR in the Cucumber world. This SO answer and this article was a good reference, look for "Logical OR" and "Logical AND":

so to run S1 OR S2 AND NOT S3

mvn test -Dkarate.options="--tags @S1,@S2 --tags ~@S3"

Using the Java (or Runner) API, just use commas for OR and separate strings for AND:

Results results = Runner.path("classpath:com/myco/some.feature")
            .tags("@S1,@S2", "~@S3")
            .parallel(5);
