Since each form submission is unique (ie: no relation to past form
submissions, as far as the server is concerned), the easiest way to
pass values across muti-part forms is to take those values submitted to
each part and place them in hidden form elements (<input
type="hidden">) and just keep passing them along until you're ready to
process the data.
