It is indeed true that you can only display one query in a grid at a
time, however there still might be a solution to your problem.

Is it possible to write your two detail queries as one combined
query, possibly using the UNION or UNION ALL element? There are
disadvantages to doing this, such as the increased difficulty of
making the query updatable, but it is a way to accomplish what
you're looking to do.
