My depth space is very limited. I don't have room for two 3/4" doors


What if the spline(?) for the track is offset for each door? You might
have to trim any interior shelves by a little.

How much _can_ you sacrifice in shelf depth? It wouldn't take but a
1/2" thick frame or maybe even 3/8" with a rabbet to add sufficient
stiffness to the panels. Doesn't have to be a centered groove, a rear
flush rabbet'll do the same trick...

The panels/doors have to pass by each other

The idea is that one panel is offset to the outside of the track and
the other to the inside. They will still pass by each other, just as
the bare panels do but the "inner" door will cut into the interior
space a bit.

Precisely, and better worded besides...
