So in some ways it may be linked to running multiple transactions on the same 
connection. But in this case the queries need to be inside the same transaction.
I need to think about this ;)
The whole reason I started with interbase in the 90's was because of its events 
mechanism which provides notification of asynchronous activity and Firebird has 
simply expanded on that.

But to be honest, the normal path is to build queries that simply return the 
data in one hit and make them fast, so having to run several queries is a little 
strange ... unless you need the answer to one before you can proceed to the next 
anyway :)
