As I'm completely unfamiliar with that syntax, it's hard to follow. 
It would be easier when asking RRD specific (as opposed to 
language/API specific) questions to stick to the standard shell 
options format.
As Jim says, all you need to do is this :

   DEF:a=<some file>.rrd:a:AVERAGE \
   DEF:b=<another file>.rrd:x:AVERAGE \
   AREA:a:... \
   AREA:b:... STACK

Ie, you just do one DEF for each item of data you want in the graph - 
and it makes no difference whether they come from the same or 
different databases.
