I'd do it simpler: just run cfgmaker and save the output in another 
file, not your current config file.
Then, just open it and include there what you need.

Also, now that I've just said 'include', you can include a complete file 
with:

Include: file

That's been very useful for me.

I mostly keep only global options on main main config file, then, I add 
different config files for devices.

Another solution is running two different MRTG processes, at the same 
time. If you've got a good box, you can do that too, just call the two 
(or more) at the same time in your cron.

Hope it helps,
