The maps won't be parsed twice if you declare them first and make references
to them in your textures. Like this:

#declare Image=pigment { image_map { tga "......." } }
#declare Bump=normal { bump_map { tga "...." } }

#declare Texture_1 = texture { pigment { Image } }
#declare Texture_2 = texture { pigment { Image } normal { Bump } }

--- the pigment is used twice but only loaded once.
