I think you are talking about doing explicit two-run converges where 
something takes two full executions of chef-client? The only case where that 
generally comes up is windows requiring a reboot to install certain features, 
and even that seems fortunately minimal these days. Beyond that, Chef is very 
much designed to avoid doing this, so as Adam said a concrete case might help.
