Currently you can do it using two sublocations with proxy_pass 
directives 
(http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_pass).

--------------------
function js_content(r) {

r.subrequest("/property", reply => {

    if (reply.status != 200)  { r.return(500, "prop failed"); return; }

    r.subrequest('/backend', res => {
      ...
    })
  })
}

------------------

We plan to add a Promise object this year, so in the future it will be 
less cumbersome.
