The standard approach to doing this is to mark the commands you want to work this way with immediate="true". This causes the corresponding action to fire "immediately" :-) ... during the Apply Request Values phase of the request processing lifecycle, which comes *before* Process Validations. The most common use case for this is a Cancel button ... you don't want to have your validations executed if you're cancelling the input. But the same principle applies to your scenario.
