It is not possible for a two separate sessions to directly shared a single non-distributed Oracle transaction.

There are ways for multiple sessions to coordinate activity so as to perform multiple operations as a transaction with some limitations.

You can build a transaction processor which communicates with multiple external processes and then performs its actions.

Exactly what are you trying to do? If you provide more details someone may be able to point you in the right direction.
