Simply reference the same node twice:
$ x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-drive if=none,file=/tmp/backing.qcow2,id=backing \
-drive file=/tmp/test.qcow2,backing=backing,id=hda \
-drive file=/tmp/test2.qcow2,backing=backing,id=hdb
If backing.qcow2 has another backing file, you can do the intermediate
streaming to it and both hda and hdb are active layers on top of it.
