The units of the --user instance live in an entirely disjunct
namespace from those in the --system instance. Hence yes, you can
absolutely use After= and/or Requires= between two user services, but
it will always just be between two *user* services, and never between
a user and a system service, since the unit state engines of the
system and user instance are completely disconnected, as said.
