this should be possible using the :results silent header argument, for
example the following should give the desired behavior

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** eval for side effect on export
- one plus one
  #+source: one-plus-one
  #+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports none :results silent
    (+ 1 1)
  #+end_src
- plus one is
  #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var two=one-plus-one :exports both
    (+ 1 two)
  #+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Cheers -- Eric
