two state machines in single source - I cannot believe

Use fgoto or fcall to move between machines.

e.g:

%%{
  machine foo;
  bar := 'bar';
  baz := 'baz' @{ fgoto bar; }
}%%

You can pick and choose which machine to start when exec is called by
setting the cs variable to [machine name]_en_[machine definition].

e.g:

int cs;
%%{
  machine foo;
  bar := 'bar';
  baz := 'baz';
}%%

write init;
cs = (condition) ? foo_bar : foo_baz;
write exec;

Take care,
