When you referred to it as "remarking", I thought for a moment that you 
were referring to the technique in which the bug disappears as soon as 
you tell someone else about it ;)

If I understand what you're asking, I think I would just second Hugh's 
recommendation of putting whatever code is necessary in the block to 
call the desired method on the other button, e.g.

     button1.connect(SEL_COMMAND) {
         button2.doSomething
     }
