A special kind of Flowable could perhaps change its output depending on how many 
times it has been drawn


eg

class MyHeader(Flowable):
	def __init__(self,para0,para1):
		self.x = 0
		self.content=(para0,para1)

	def wrap(self,aW,aH):
		return self.content[self.x].wrap(aW,aH)
	def draw(self):
		self.content[self.x].draw()
		self.x = 1

Not sure if this actually will work, but it might.
