You can't prevent that. You must make sure that any information stored 
in session will not cause unexpected results if the user is using the 
same page for different tasks. For instance, in one of my first 
session-based sites, I stored the record currently being edited in 
session data - when a user tried to edit two records side by side he 
could easily overwrite one record with another record's data.

Note: If your user is using Win IE AND she launches a new instance of 
IE instead of opening a new window in her current instance, she can 
have multiple sessions as the same logged in user. Don't count on this 
behaviour.
