WINDOW functions can help you:
SELECT
grouping_field
, first_value(field_a) OVER (ORDER BY ...)
, first_value(field_b) OVER (ORDER BY ...)
, sum(field_x) OVER ()
, max(field_y) OVER ()
FROM ...
The empty OVER clauses will make the sum / max work over the full result set,
and not a subset. I really recommend reading the window functions section on
the site.
