Default dropper flies

Hi, I was reading about using a nymph attached to a dry fly as a dropper
fly. I've read of other 2 fly combos also. How do you keep the two from
wrapping around each other when casting and making a real big knot?

Avoid false casting, just pick up the line from the water and lay it down.
Throw the mend in after the cast.
Also note to follow though on the forward cast to straighten out the line,
leader/tippet/fly.
fwiw,
