Yes they will. In fact, if you put them on the same command line, you won't
have to care if the connection becomes persistant or not, the cookie stuff
will work correctly no matter what.

Exactly. curl collects and stores all cookies internally when they're
received (if that is enabled) and on all requests it checks the internal
cookie storage to see if there are any cookies present that should be sent
off.
