It won't cause problems, but it's unlikely to make anything happen faster if you have already filed. if he gets selected, earliest possible visa date is October 2020, and could be as late as September 2021. (He won't be able to choose the date within that, it is defined by case number.)

So it's not going to cause a problem. Because i heard that you  can't file two cases in the same time..

You heard wrong. I personally had two cases, DV and famiky based, in process at the same time. Whichever gets current first will be processed and the other will lapse. 

 

The DV instructions themselves confirm this: https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Diversity-Visa/DV-Instructions-Translations/DV-2021-Instructions-Translations/DV-2021- Instructions-English.pdf (page 11]

17. I’m already registered for an immigrant visa in another category. Can I still apply for the DV program?
Yes.
