Just a guess, but do you want multiple form classes for saving a main object and its related objects ? in that case, may be you are looking for inline formsets [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#using-an-inline-formset-in-a-view]
Also, I have written a small jquery plugin [https://github.com/kodeplay/augForm] for handling the adding/removing of forms in a formset on the client side. It includes a django formset helper which achieves this by manipulating the management form associated with the formset using javascript. Might be of your help..
