In kinda pseudo-code form:

  If you set up the main process pMain with a loop, something like:

  task pMain is
  begin
    loop
      accept Step1;
      ... some code ...
      accept Step2;
    end loop;
  end pMain;

  Then have the process p1 rendevous with the two in sequence:

    myTask.Step1;
   ... some code ...
    myTask.Step2;

  You should get the described behaviour.
