Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Packet Reassembly..

I am currently working with a protocol that needs reassembly of packets.. I am encountering a situation in which the current packet/TVB contains the end fragment of the PREVIOUS SDU (for which reassembly is already ongoing), and starting fragment of the NEXT SDU.
 
I tried using "fragment_add_seq_next" and "fragment_add_multiple_ok"  API's to reassemble the tvb's.
But i dont see the reassembly tree (reassembled PREVIOS SDU) in that packet in that protocol layer.
I see only the "Reassembled in" link for the NEXT SDU fragment present in the current packet/tvb..
 
Does Wireshark reassembly APIs supports implementation of such a scenario ?
Which APIs can be used to implement this scenario??
 
When i call the process_reassembled_data() API for the PREVIOUS SDU the condition (pinfo->fd->num == fd_head->reassembled_in) is failing.. What is the possible reason that this condition is failing??
