I can't say i completely understand your situation either - do you want both those to function toether, just opposite? - if so, this can be done with only one solenoid valve as mike mentioned.
If you are talking about two completely separate cylinders on different solenoids that only go one way without switching tubing then i would double check your hose locations with the schematic on the solenoid valve. Try actuating them manually first just by flipping the little blue tab on the festo solenoid valve to make sure they do what you want before incorperating electrical and programming control.

Re-reading your question again it makes me think you mean controlling two cylinders together, only opposite to eachother while having full position control (multi-positioning). This can be done with two festo solenoid valves - just a T setup off the first to each actuator as mike has described then using the other to regulate on/off of the release of air from the exhaust of the first festo valve.
Hope some of this helps - Please explain more if I have completely misunderstood what you are asking.
