I don't think you'll be able to do what you want within a single script. When a browser sends an HTTP request, the server will only be able to send one HTTP response to that request. When you use CFCONTENT to serve a file, that file is the body of the response. Using CFHTTP won't get you around that basic limitation within the HTTP protocol. If you want to work around this, you can probably do it by using multiple frames or a data pipe. One frame could use JavaScript to send multiple requests to the server, although you might find it difficult to get things to run exactly the way you'd like.
