Extract two countries in one pass of osmosis

I have planet.osm.pbf, a poly file for the USA, and a poly file for Canada.

Is it possible to get both countries into one output file with one pass of osmosis?

Or can the poly files be merged? If so, what d I have to look out for?

Regards, Jim

The easiest way of merging the poly files is to convert them to .osm format using poly2osm.pl from http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/osm-extract/polygons, then combine them in JOSM, and convert them back with osm2poly.pl. However, if you are not too picky about the US-Mexico boundary, you could also use JOSM to quickly draw a polygon around the US and Canada by hand, save that, and convert to .poly.

Regarding your Osmosis question, yes it is possible, and examples for that are on the Wiki.
