I would always try to convert such file to a OSM file format outside  
fo libosmscout. Libosmscout can import multiple *.osm.pbf files (and  
IMHO *.osm, too) in one go an import them into the same database - if  
ids in the second file do not have any conflicts with the objects from  
the first file.

I think Vladimir did use this trick to import elevation lines as ways  
(of a special type) and was able to adhere to this restrictions.
