I don't think that is possible.

You will need to use both forms separately, and if you need combined
validation or something like that, then do that in your view code. You
can create a wrapper class which behaves mostly like a form, but
delegates the actions to the two underlying forms. (eg is_valid():
return form1.is_valid() and form2.is_valid()). Making it behave
exactly like a single form will be hard.
