If you search this forum for CallServer you'll probably see examples of how you can call into the FormAPI layer from a CGI script invoked via FormAPI's CallServer method.

I'm not sure if the same applies for CGI's called from the cgi-callout directive, but I imagine it should be pretty easy to find out. However, if the cgi-callout sets a value in a particular field - you can also probably just put an onChange handler on that item to invoke whatever other FormAPI calls you wish to make at that time ...

Make reference to the formAPI :
var api = opener.top.getScriptFrame();

Use formAPI functions :
api.IWDatacapture.getItem("/Topic/TopicTitle").setValue("BAM");
