Simple answer - you can't by passing data between the subreports.  However, there may be another way of doing this.
 
Is there data in the main report or just in the subreports?  What is the current selection criteria for report 1 and report 2?

you could run subreport 1, return a string of items as a shared variable and then have subreport act on the shared string.
 
at least that is what I would try
