this is not a bug, and shouldn't be sent to the pgsql_bugs reporting
mail list.

you probably want to subscribe to and post to the pgsql-general email
list for these sorts of questions....

but, you would do something like..

begin;
insert into firsttable ..... returning id;
insert into secondtable .... values (....including 'id' value
returned by previous query...);
commit;

its up to your application program making these calls to accept the
return value of the first insert and include it in the 2nd insert, the
specifics of doing that are programming language and sql binding specific.
