For example, an alchemist bomb Acid Flask for 1d6 persistent acid damage hits a target. The target fails the DC 15 flat check, and the damage persists. Then the target gets hit with a second Acid Flask on the following round. Would this count as two separate persistent effects affecting the target? Or does it simply not stack?

The same type of persistent damage doesn't stack. But nothing keeps you from melting an enemy with acid and setting him on fire while he bleeds to death.
Multiple Persistent Damage Conditions
You can be simultaneously affected by multiple persistent damage conditions so long as they have different damage types. If you would gain more than one persistent damage condition with the same damage type, the higher amount of damage overrides the lower amount. The damage you take from persistent damage occurs all at once, so if something triggers when you take damage, it triggers only once; for example, if you’re dying with several types of persistent damage, the persistent damage increases your dying condition only once.
thanks. I didn't see the sidebar on that page, only the paragraph on persistent damage.
