Depending on the data and what you are trying to do you can also use control references. An example ships with LabVIEW showing you how to update a graph that's on a higher-level VI from a subVI.

See here for images of control references in action.

Chiming in: I think there are some good points to be made.
With LabVIEW 2011 this type of behavior IS possible. That is you can Launch a sub-vi, continu prosessing after launching the sub.vi and get the outputs of the sub vi after the sub vi completes. As a matter of fact Craig Davis presented example code of this behavior at the Minneapolis LabVIEW User's Group last week watch here for a link to the presentation- He did promise to post it.
Here is a discription of the Asynchronous Call By referance feature. And there are some examples that ship with 2011.
Combined with a control referance (or two) or a queue you can get just about anything you want
Despite all the great points the other contributors made- it is now possible to achive what the OP is asking for if I interperated correctly.
