A hint from Lars Madsen on "references in tex" makes me guess that the 
pdfpages package,

     http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pdfpages

could be used as well for combining facing pages from different LaTeX runs. 
But I haven't had a closer look at the package, I may be very wrong, or it 
needs an additional trick, sorry ...
