No, it doesn't dodge the question (although, because you top-posted, the
response was hidden: the suggestion was to use two form objects).
ModelForms are designed to be a simple form wrapper around a simple
model. Forms (including ModelForms) are designed to represent part of an
HTML form (not the entire form) so that you can deliberately use more
than one Django Form object in a single HTML form.
Thus, if you want to use two ModelForms in the same form, you can. If
you want to use fields from multiple models in a specific order on the
page (intermingled), then you should construct the form manually (as a
Form subclass) and your view will be responsible for extracting the
right fields and saving them to the right model.
You are trying to do something that is beyond the scope of ModelForm, in
other words.
