This sort of depends on whether your hardware actually supports multiple 
contexts being activated at once.

I have successfully configured "2 ofonos" to make my modem works with "atmodem" for the PPP side and, by setting ofono driver to gobi in udevng (such as Huawei does) for wwan side. To sum up, Ofono works with PPP or with QMI. Now, I need to make it work with PPP _and_ QMI at the same time.

You could try modifying the gobi plugin and udevng to allocate 2 
gprs-contexts.  One using the QMI driver and the other using PPP.

e.g. something like:

gc = ofono_gprs_context_create(modem, 0, "qmimodem", device);
ofono_gprs_add_context(gprs, gc);

gc = ofono_gprs_context_create(modem, 0, "atmodem", ppp_chat);
ofono_gprs_add_context(gprs, gc);

and see if that works.
