Grouping songs?

I was listening to a playlist today and realized that I’d love to hear certain songs together, non-randomly, but still hear them as part of an otherwise random playlist. Is this even possible to link two songs together so that they play back-to-back, almost as one song, in a playlist of other randomly played songs?

If you select the songs in iTunes and click Apple + I there is an option in there for grouping.

Logically that seems like it would work. I’m hoping to accomplish this with just playlists instead of creating a NEW song file that I’d have to create, then re-import to iTunes. Frankly, I’d rather just live without it.
