I was wondering how you would go about using two or more shaders on one object as I want to use dynamic shadow mapping combined with baked shadows from Mapscape (I am using evolved's shadow shader and lightmap.fx for the map).

I tried changing the effect and textures applied to the object in the loop but it is to slow and doesn't really work. So i guess I am wondering if I can render an object with one effect and then render it again with another effect.

I think you would just have to make your own shader that does the combined task of both desired shaders.
Another option would be to use forward rendering and render the scene multiple times, swapping shaders in-between, to a quad and then use a post-processing shader to combine the outputs. That doesn't work well with shadows that are dependent on transparency however.
