Instantiate each core and connect them with wires.

entity Things is port(
Gazinta: in std_ulogic;
Gazouta: in std_ulogic);
end Things;
architecture RTL of Things is
signal bbb: std_ulogic;
begin
The_Thing1 : entity Thing1
port map(
a=> Gazinta,
b=> bbb);

The_Thing2 : entity Thing2
port map(
a=> bbb,
b=> Gazouta);
end RTL;

See, it's not that hard. Enjoy.

You don't connect 'clock events', you connect signals. If you have multiple
instances that all need to be receiving some signal that happens to be named
'clock', then you simply put that signal name on the right side of the port
map

The_Thing1 : entity work.Thing1
port map(
a=> Gazinta,
x=> clock,
b=> bbb);

The_Thing2 : entity work.Thing2
port map(
a=> bbb,
y=> clock,
b=> Gazouta);

Is there something holding you back from doing just that? The example
entities 'Thing1' and 'Thing2' could just as easily be the same entity. For
example...
The_Thing1 : entity work.Thing1 port map(....);
The_Thing2 : entity work.Thing1 port map(....);
