Answer 1

If you really need to pass them both together just pass a list of them like:

List<Dictionary<int, string>>

Answer 2

If it is unrelated data, then use two different Dictionaries and pass them separately. Is there a good reason why you would want to only pass one Dictionary? I think KISS applies here.
