Have a look at Dave Loves multi-mode.el:

http://www.loveshack.ukfsn.org/emacs/multi-mode.el

It uses indirect buffers and only narrows to region for
indentation or font-lock code.  You always see the whole
buffer.

It's far away from being perfect but at least indentation
within one region works well.  Though it can't deal with
mixed code like

<%
if (a) {
%>
  <h3>blah</h3>
<%
  // cc-mode thinks this is a top level funcall
  // and will indent it to `point-at-bol'
  foo ();
}
%>
