Why not call both CGIs separately, from SSI?

eg. a document like this:

<html>
<head><title>yadda</title></head>
<body>
<center><!--#exec cgi="/path/to/banner.cgi" --></center>
<!--#exec cgi="/path/to/other.cgi" -->
</body>
</html>


(Or you could use #exec cmd, or #include virtual)


Is there something I'm missing?
