Fitting programs like LMFIT or MPFIT don't really care how many
functions you have. If you have two data sets Y1 and Y2, then you can
"glue" them together with a command like this,
Y = [Y1, Y2]
and in your model function, you would do the same thing, something
like,
F = [F1(X,P), F2(X,P)]
where F1() and F2() are your different functions, which are functions
of the same independent variable and the parameter set P.

Good luck,
Craig
