Have the two steps use different TAGSTLYES:
[% TAGS <% %> %]
<% "I am processed the first time" %>
[% "I pass through the first time, and am processed the second time";
"(assuming that TAGS is not set to <%, %> the second time too)";
"Note that the first line, the TAGS line, gets eaten by the ";
"parser the first time, not the second.";
%]
That will work, and is, in fact, how all the documentation is generated
with [% and %] in it.
