Hi

Sorry might not be much help but i hope it will get you started. I have 
a single typoscript menu that shows the children/subpages of the current 
page or the siblings of the current page if there are no children.

# Menu 1 (siblings)
temp.siblingMenu=HMENU
temp.siblingMenu{
entryLevel=-2
1=TMENU
1.NO{
linkWrap=<liclass="square_red">|</li>
}
}

## Menu Two (children)
temp.childrenMenu<temp.siblingMenu
temp.childrenMenu{
entryLevel=-1
}

temp.switchMenu=COA
temp.switchMenu{
10<temp.siblingMenu
stdWrap.override.cObject<temp.childrenMenu

}

lib.additional_menu<temp.switchMenu


It works very roughly as follows,
1. create a menu of siblings / pages on the same level
2. create a menu of children / subpages of the current page
3. (temp.switchMenu) copy in the contents of the sibling menu
4. (temp.switchMenu) overwrite the existing menu with the contents of 
the children menu, but if this object has no value (no children / 
subpages) then it will have no effect leaving the original menu as the 
value.
5. Assign the temp object to the real typoscript path i use for this menu.

Best of luck; I can't help much further!

Regards

Edmund
