One approach might be to encapsulate the connection within the customer.

customer = Customer.new(connection, other, args)

or even

customer = connection.create_customer(other, args)

In either case, the customer is internally bound to the connection so that
you can handle the queries internal to the customer object and just ask
the customer object for the complete report:

customer.report
