...and, when a request packet is seen, save information about it as data 
attached to the conversation; when the reply is seen, check whether 
information about the request is attached to the current frame and, if 
not, check whether it's attached to the conversation and, if so, attach 
it to the current frame.

Then:

        if you have information about the request is attached to the current 
frame, use that to dissect it;

        otherwise, the request wasn't in the capture, and you can't correctly 
interpret the reply.

This is the mechanism used by many other protocols, such as ONC RPC, 
SMB, etc..
