Wanted more clarification on your requirement :-

Your system as a session initiator (FIX Client) sends a login request to session acceptor (FIX Server), this login succeeds and the session is initiated. Then you want to send "another special login".

You need to do this using a custom non standard FIX message ie a message with a new value of Tag 35 Message Type.

FIX has robust message recovery mechanism to ensure "Ordered Message Processing" using Sequence numbers and Resend Request processing, refer sections on "Ordered Message Processing" and "Message Recovery" in specs at

http://fixprotocol.org/specifications/
