I read this as a third set of steps (your "secondary set of steps") needs a first and a second set 
of steps to be both completed successfully (your "I need them both to complete successfully").

I would do this by

a) Making the first and the second set of steps as a seperate builds, with a Triggerable() scheduler.
b) Trigger both the above builds from the third set of steps by means of a trigger.Trigger() 
command, that waits for completion, and halts on failure.

I have never heard of this, so no idea whether it is useful in your case.
