this sure sounds like the old solaris automount setup of:

foo     server:/path/disk:foo
bar     server:/path/disk:bar

hitting foo would mount server:/path/disk and then symlink/bind for foo.  
hitting bar within the timeout period would just cause another 
symlink/bind instead of another mount.

i am mimicking this on my setup with two maps.  one for disks and then one 
for home dirs that points to the disks mount.  it still hiccups 
occasionally since the two automounts don't really know about each other.  
having this functionality back in automount would be great.
