Do you really need this? You can put more than one sql commands in a sql
method, you just have to put a <!--#var sql_delimiter --> between them.
You can insert in the two tables with just one method. The
last_insert_id() should be in the values field of the second insert.
Take a look at the code genereated by the sql wizard in the contrib
page.
