Indeed, this is the case. A form submission is a *one-time-only*
action. Whatever form fields exist are passed to the next page,
afterwhich they no longer exist. Submitting that second form passes on
the second form's data, but none of the first.

Eww. This just looks like a bad idea. Typically, to have forms span
multiple submissions, you need to propogate the form fields, but not
like this. The easiest way is to use hidden form fields. IE, something
like:
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php echo $_POST['name'] ?>">
You give each piece of data you want to propogate it's own hidden
element, that way this data gets included along with the next form
submission.
