In order for the epan framework to handle more than one independent source of packets, it would need to support per-source "file" scopes rather than a single global "file" scope.

However, while that's necessary, it's not sufficient to handle more than one independent source of packets, as many dissectors accumulate state information, and that's global rather than being attached to a packet source.

So this isn't going to be possible with libwireshark as it exists, and fixing that would take a significant amount of work.
