"ProcAlt" and it cousins in process.h will perform the desired function.
They don't perform the actual channel communication, though, as the 
alternatives in an Occam ALT construct do.  ProcAlt, ProcAltList, etc 
will return an index into the argument channel array.  Then you have to 
call one the the ChanIn functions to perform the I/O.

(This is the case for the Dx314 toolset, if that's what you mean by 
"third generation".)
