Maybe you want to "Group" the 2 objects together? I don't use SCALP so I can't be sure what they call it.

Otherwise, what you're describing sounds like welding.

I agree with skarekrow and I also don't have SCALP, it sounds like welding, (union in some programs.)  Maybe you are thinking of group or combine.  However for a cutting path joining the nodes would be a weld, creating a new path from a combination of the other paths.  If you did not have one path you would have two cutting paths instead of one.

 

Sometimes in CorelDraw I must reverse the direction of the paths for a weld to work.  Sometimes, it is frustrating enough that I can't get a good weld.  Then I goto Inkscape and use Union as it has different results often that are desirable.  Some arcane knowledge of winding rules would probably help.
