Quantus:
For what it's worth, Ive thought about the same issue, and the best example I have found is how O.S. Card did it in Ender's Game:  He opened each chapter with a bit of disembodied dialog between people you only later realized you knew.  It gave a brief window into the "other side" while clearly distinguishing it from the main 1st person story (or was it Limited 3rd? in either case...) 

I found that way neatly sidestepped any confusion, and did well in building suspense by giving the reader those little details and foreshadows that the normal structure didn't allow for.
