I think what you'll need to do is union the two rectangles and then
clip to that, rather than clipping them both separately. That will
then provide the same clipping as the NSClipRect code does.

I must be failing to communicate well, we keep seeming to
misunderstand each other.

You still need to focus, however you don't have to clip when you
focus.

For example you could do something like:

    ns_focus (f, nil, 0);
    [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] saveGraphicsState];
    NSClipRect (r1);
    // do something
    [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] restoreGraphicsState]

    [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] saveGraphicsState];
    NSClipRect (r2);
    // do something else
    [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] restoreGraphicsState]
    ns_unfocus (f);

The only time you don't need to focus is when you can guarantee the
calling function (or its caller, etc.) has already focused the view.
