Have you tried nextval & currval?
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/functions-sequence.html
Something like this:
begin
insert into user
(
user_id,
customer_id,
create_user,
update_user
)
values
(
nextval(user_seq),
nextval(customer_seq),
currval(user_seq),
currval(user_seq)
);
insert into customer
(
customer_id,
create_user,
update_user
)
values
(
currval(customer_seq),
currval(user_seq),
currval(user_seq)
);
commit;
end;
