Hello,

There isn't such a built-in feature within Toolset Forms plugin, one form can handle one post/user at the same time.

If you are familiar with custom codes, you can try these:
1) Create a Toolset user form for creating users.
2) When user submit above form, you can use action hook "cred_save_data" to trigger a custom PHP function:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_save_data
Since it is user form, so the first parameter is user's ID, you use user's ID to get user's other information.
For example:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($user_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==123)
    {
        $user_obj = get_user_by('id', $user_id);
        $user_name = $user_obj->user_login;
    }
}

3) In this PHP function, create new post with WordPress function

Ok! I use this code (running ok):

add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($user_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id'] === 347)
    {
        $user_obj = get_user_by('id', $user_id);
        $user_name = $user_obj->user_login;
		sleep(15);
		programmatically_create_post($user_id);
    }	
} 

And

function programmatically_create_post($user_id) {
	// Initialize the page ID to -1. This indicates no action has been taken.
	$post_id = -1;

	// Setup the author, slug, and title for the post
	$user_obj = get_user_by('id', $user_id);
	$author_id = $user_id;
	$user_name = $user_obj->user_login;
	$slug = 'example-post';
	$title = $user_name;

	// If the page doesn't already exist, then create it
	if( null == get_page_by_title( $title, 'OBJECT', 'post' ) ) {

		// Set the post ID so that we know the post was created successfully
		$post_id = wp_insert_post(
			array(
				'comment_status'	=>	'closed',
				'ping_status'		=>	'closed',
				'post_author'		=>	$author_id,
				'post_name'		=>	$slug,
				'post_title'		=>	$title,
				'post_content' => 'Realizou check-in!!',
				'post_status'		=>	'publish',
				'post_type'		=>	'post',
				'tax_input' => array( 'post-type' => array('Checkin', 24))			
			)
		);
	// Otherwise, we'll stop
	} else {
    		// Arbitrarily use -2 to indicate that the page with the title already exists
    		$post_id = -2;

	} // end if
}

How can i create a relationship in post create via function?

#1285801

What is the relationship you mentioned above?
If it is post type relationship created with Types plugin, you can try function toolset_connect_posts(), see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/post-relationships-api/#toolset_connect_posts
Connects posts within a given post relationship.
