Not an expert, but this does the trick:

========================================================================
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import asyncio

def main():
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(t0())
    
async def t0():
    print("start t0")
    await t2()
    await asyncio.wait([ t3(), t4() ])
    await t1()
    print("finish t0")

async def t1():
    print("start t1")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print("finish t1")

async def t2():
    print("start t2")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print("finish t2")

async def t3():
    print("start t3")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print("finish t3")

async def t4():
    print("start t4")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print("finish t4")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
========================================================================
