Cannot dispatch in the middle of a dispatch. - Should multiple dispatchers be used?

https://gist.github.com/criso/086881ec8df844eda73a

Should these independent components be using different dispatchers ?

Scenario:
Compnonent BAR requests data from the server via an action REQ_BAR
Component FOO receives data from a previous request REQ_FOO_SUCCESS

--- Cannot dispatch in the middle of a dispatch. --- error is triggered

EDIT

Basically, if you have 2 components that retrieve data from the server:
- component FOO may be dispatching REQ_FOO
- while component BAR may be dispatching REQ_BAR_SUCCESS

You can use waitFor in Flux. So you fire one action and have two stores that are register to the same dispatcher. But one waits for the other store to process the payload.

Check out the doc

Just saw this:
https://github.com/facebook/flux/issues/47#issuecomment-54716863
"An action queue would not be a bad solution if you have multiple async API calls coming back at the same time."

I don't see how you may not run into this at some point.
