Here's a TechNote on "How to restore multiple files based on wildcards 
via the command line."

http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/240718.htm

See if that would help.

I think however that you are simply running into a product limitation.  
I don't think (in the GUI anyway) that you can select non-sequential 
backups when using the backup history.  I think the reason for this is 
that you aren't really saying just use these two images, but rather are 
saying use these backups to get a start and end date.

Another possible solution would be to initiate two restores.  First, 
the Full, then the Cumulative.
