On my Swiss and similar machines, you don't have to put any extra thought into the code, the controls are designed to do overlapping processes at the same time, you just turn on that "mode" with a G code, then program each process the same as you normally would.
For example if you wanted to drill from your sub spindle into the main spindle, and do OD turning on the main spindle, you just set your feedrate for turning on the main, and set your feedrate for drilling on the sub, and the control does all the calculations to give each Z axis its own feedrate to compensate.
Esprit will let you post code for that pretty simply as well.
Proving out the program for the first time can be a little hair raising.
A lot happening at the same time. I've never used that side of Esprit, but most people I know that do Swiss work, use Partmaker (Gibbs).
