I would rather think that independent pto is distinguished from a 2 stage 
clutch, with their commonality is that they both provide 'live' pto.

With the the independent pto on a seperate clutch, about the only thing I 
can think of as a difference is that you could engage the pto on the go, 
while on a 2 stage clutch.. you couldn't... and would have to come to a stop 
to get the pto engaged, as the first level of the clutch is the dirvetrain, 
and the full down section of the clutch is the pto.. etc.
