halacha - Can a public fast day be used for a Yahrtzeit fast?


Some people have a minhag to fast on a yahrtzeit (see Shulchan Aruch OC 567,7-9). If the day of the yahrtzeit occurs on a public fast day such as 17 Tamuz, can the fasting done then count for the yahrtzeit fasting or does a separate day need to be done for the yahrtzeit?
