I've not been able to figure out what that would look like.
Could you give a sample wpa_supplicant.conf and /etc/network/interfaces?

Assume the following configuration:
network 1: (WPA)
    SSID = "home"
    pass = "topsecret"
    ip = 192.168.1.100
    router = 192.168.1.0
    nameserver = 8.8.8.8


network 2: (open, DHCP)
    SSID = "public"


This is what I know would go in wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=net
network={
    ssid="home"
    #psk="topsecret"
    psk=c406ef685867ff2dca906a4992ab997d6ebd5c747451113c0c0ead704d859010
}
network={
    ssid="public"
    key_mgmt=NONE
}
