In the paper the five-parameter set of quadratic autonomous systems \[ dx/dt= -y(1+\gamma y)+ b_{11}xy+ b_{02}y^2\equiv P,\;dy/dt= x(1+\gamma y)- x^2+ a_{02}y+\beta P \] is considered, when each of the two real parameters \(\gamma\) and \(\beta\) turns the field for the other fixed. In the plane \(\gamma\), \(\beta\) the authors study the behavior of curves of separatrix cycles in the case where a system has two anti-saddles in a finite part of the plane. Moreover, the mutual location of the curves of multiple limit cycles and separatrix cycles is analyzed. To illustrate it there is a certain quadratic system possessing the four limit cycles -- three round the first focus and one round the second one -- and three singular points on the equator of the Poincaré sphere. In conclusion, some results are obtained concerning the asymptotic stability of separatrix cycles.
