index.html

<form action="something" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="field1"/>
</form>
<form action="something" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="field2"/>
</form>

gen.go

// ...

type Controller interface {
    // ...
	DoSomething(writer http.ResponseWriter, request *http.Request, params SomethingParams) error
    // ...
}
// ...
type SomethingParams struct {
	Field1 string
	Field2 string
}
// ...

Multiple fields in the same form

In case of (un)intentional definition of fields with same names within one form only first field will be used.
