If you do this

SinOsc s1 => dac;
220.0 => s1.freq;
for (0 => int i; i < 10; i++)
{
  0.2 => s1.gain;
  2::second => now;
  0.0 => s1.gain;
  2::second => now;
}

SinOsc s2 => dac;
for (0 => int i; i < 10; i++)
{
  Std.rand2f(130.0, 440.0) => s2.freq;
  0.2 => s2.gain;
  2::second => now;
  0.0 => s2.gain;
  2::second => now;
}

then s2 will follow s1.

If you want them to go simultaneously, then you'll need to put one or
both loops in a function and spork the function call, for example

SinOsc s1 => dac;
220.0 => s1.freq;
spork ~ loop1();

SinOsc s2 => dac;
spork ~ loop2();

<<<"waiting on main shred">>>;
2::minute => now;

fun void loop1()
{
  <<<"sporked loop1">>>;
  for (0 => int i; i < 10; i++)
  {
    0.2 => s1.gain;
    2::second => now;
    0.0 => s1.gain;
    2::second => now;
  }
  <<<"loop1 done">>>;
}

fun void loop2()
{
  <<<"sporked loop2">>>;
  for (0 => int i; i < 10; i++)
  {
    Std.rand2f(130.0, 440.0) => s2.freq;
    0.2 => s2.gain;
    2::second => now;
    0.0 => s2.gain;
    2::second => now;
  }
  <<<"loop2 done">>>;
}
