in my humble opinion, don't care about messiness in the template, since
messiness in the code is way worse.
nontheless, you should be able to render the two querysets in the same
template without additional hassle! Templates know nothing about models. The
deal with lists when it comes to querysets. ( {% for i in queryset %} will
do whatever results com in there. ) Maybe you have to write code to render
one field or another depending on its presence, which you can check with {%
if field %} {{ field }} {% else %} {{anotherfield }} {% endif %}
Finally, as such, I don't see how to return a related model row asking for a
given model objects.
