Defining multiple ASDF systems in the same .asd file

Suppose I have an application that defines multiple ASDF systems in
the same .asd file, like this, some of which depend on one of the
others:

  (defpackage #:myapp-system
    (:use #:cl #:asdf))

  (in-package #:myapp-system)
  
  (defsystem system1
    :components (...))

  (defsystem system2
    :depends-on (system1)
    :components (...))

When I try to directly load system2 with the form:

  (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :system2)

I get an error stating that system2 is not found.  But everything
works fine if I load system1 first, and then system2.

Am I doing anything wrong?  I install ASDF-based applications on my
Linux box as explained in section "How it's used - personal lisp
installations" of:

  ASDF System
  http://www.cliki.net/ASDF%20System

Is this the recommended way of defining multiple systems?  Does each
system require a separate .asd file?
