Sure - if the programs in the two RCX's are slightly different, one of them
could be programmed to (say)ignore message bytes containing odd numbers and
the other RCX could ignore message bytes containing even numbers. Then the
PC can talk to whichever one it wants by sending appropriate messages.
Whether those two RCX's are in one model or not is irrelevent.
I've built models containing one RCX and four Scout's (it could have been
five RCX's) with eleven motors and eleven sensors using the RCX to send
messages to each of the Scouts to tell them what to do - and with the scouts
sending back their sensor readings to the RCX for processing.
It worked out pretty well - although the low speed of the IR link starts
to become quite noticable when you have that much traffic.
