At present I don't think there is any communication possible between different thread groups - apart from properties, which are shared.
One way to achieve what you want would be to set a property in one group and test it in the other. The latest CVS code has a property setting function. Or you can use BeanShell (have a look at the .bshrc files) to set the property. Your first group would need to have a structure like so: Thread Group (once only) - Loop Controller (as many times as needed) - Some element to set the property, e.g. BeanShell Sampler. This would generate an extra sample. S.
