I'm not 100% sure I understand your question but I think what you want to do is setup a host header for 2 different applications so that you can access them from the same IIS instance. Here is an article that shows you how to configure the hosts:

If you are testing this locally you probably want to make a host file entry to simulate the environment.

If you want it to be localhost/firstapplication and localhost/secondapplication.firstapplication/ then you could create a virtual for each application. Here is how you can do that:
