As nobody on the list seems to know the answer, I would suggest you to check
out Views relationships. I haven't played much with Views2 relationships
myself at this time, so I cannot provide you a straight answer, but I think
you have to check in that direction; see also http://drupal.org/node/274909
for a similar issue which could be solved that way.
Anyway if you find it or anybody else knows I would be interested too in the
solution.
