As I already said, making internal call to libified part (perhaps in
trailer.c) would make this part of conversation a moot point, but in
general you can find

        argv_push(&child.args, "cmd2");
        if (... some condition that involves variables parsed out ...
            ... by parse_options() of implementation of cmd1 ...)
                argv_push(&child.args, "--option-for-cmd2");
        ...
        run_command(&child);

in implementation of cmd1 that calls out to cmd2.
