If you are ok with *independent* requests to backend (that is, you 
just need to requests two happen, but don't need to implement some 
complex protocol), than using subrequests is right way to go.

See e.g. addition filter module sources for simple subrequest 
usage example, or ssi module sources for more complex one.
