As RBM said, a little context would be very helpful.

In addition to what the others indicated, that term might be used when multiple pieces of romex are put under one staple

What does it mean when the (electrical) wiring in a house is
piggybacked? Is that good or bad (is it a cheap way of doing things)?
Is there any complications that could happen because of it?
