I suggest putting everything in a single form, and displaying/hiding sections of it as necessary (for example, with jQuery and CSS).

As an example, you could do this:

<form>
<div id="part1">
<input name="t1" type="radio" value="v1" />
<input name="t1" type="radio" value="v2" />
</div>
<div id="part2" style="display: none;">
<input name="t2" type="text" />
<input type="submit" />
</div>
</form>

Only the fields in one form are submitted. If for some reason you need to get the falues from a second form, you need to do that before posting, that is, on the client side. You could for example use javaScript to read the value of the field from the first form, write it to a hidden field in the second, and then post that to the server.
