One can look at two apparently separate events as being a single continuous event with an interruption. For example if a multiday race is stopped for the night (I think that's the way Grand prix races work), then at night you can talk about pujoiba litru as a simultaneously past and future event. You can also use such a tense in a looping concept of time where the future indeed is the past, or in a time travel scenario, or... Use your imagination %^) lojbab
