Can I include one or two reports in a Crystal Report as a report or a report?
I am using Crystal Reports in vs2008, so I am using datasets with procedures to get data from db, my escenario looks like this:
In the same Crystal Report I have to show two reports, basically using the sames datasets and the same database, but they are different queries (instead they are grouped and summarized)
Is it possible? And if so, can I dissolve this using a database expert? or crosstabs? What crystal report options support these operations?

You should be able to insert a "summary report" into Crystal in your main report. You can pass parameters from the main report to the secondary report and use a completely different command in another report. I'm not sure what the exact key sequence is for adding a sub report in VS2008, but in CR 2008, it's as simple as using the file menu INSERT> SUB REPORT.

Based on my own experience, I have to agree with Greg - the subreport is probably the easiest to maintain solution to your problem. In case of VS2008 the following steps are:
- Go to Crystal Reports → Insert → Subreport menu.
- Click where you want to place the subreport in the main report.
- The Insert Subtitle form will be displayed. Either select an existing report or create a new one using the Report Wizard. In the Report Wizard, you can also choose from existing datasets without your project.
To link your main report to a subtitle, right-click on Subreport and select Edit Links in Subreport.
Hope it helps.
