Um, you could call another psql from within psql, like so:

/* psql script */
create this
select that
\! psql -f 'second-script'
select more

That satisfies the requirement of two separate sessions and a predefined
order. I haven't actually tried it, but if it happens to not work as
desired, it could certainly be fixed.
