well - due to the current behaviour of XXX_INT objects this is simply not
possible.
While rendering the page and putting the result into the cache, all XXX_INT
objects are replaced with a simple marker.

While fetching the page from the cache this marker will be recognized and
replaced with the appropriate TypoScript. (BTW: This is the reason why you
have to use includeLibs with XXX_INT objects since the orirginal libs will
be not available here.)

If your uncached plugin is trying to render another XXX_INT element now,
this would result in a simple marker that won't be replaced anymore, since
this would only be done while fetching the page from cache, which has just
happened a few milliseconds before.

Conclusion:
You can use a USER_INT for the "outer" extension, if it will be rendering
non XXX_INT objects only.
You can render XXX_INT objects with it, if you set the "outer" extension to
USER.
Every XXX_INT object will remain uncached even if the "outer" extension is
not, since the behaviour stays the same: A marker is rendered and will be
replaced while fetching the page from cache.
