What you have is a coupled system of equations and one way to solve it
is to create a bigger system and solve it with lsode.

Something like (pseudo-code)

function dx = bigSYS(x,t)
  [dx(1),dx(2),dx(3)] = f1(x(1:3),t)
  [dx(4),dx(5),dx(6)] = f2(x,t);
endfunction

You have to realize that the current output of the system of ODEs
comes in the input vector x.

If, however, your second ODE, is not really an "ODE" but is a
functional of the solution trajectory of your first ODE, more details
are needed to now how to express the whole system as an ODE...if
possible.
