This would allow you to say, hold one device to the reader and one against someone's pocket to open a door.
Or to share an NFC transit pass between multiple people over the internet.
No one has a proven system for doing this in today's smartcards to my knowledge. Though there is some research which promises this may be possible in the future.
Even those proximity car locks do a horrible job of distance bounding - many of them do it off RF level which means an attacker merely needs an amplifier to steal your car - and that offers an almost optimal situation for the application. So I think we'll probably see it there before smart cards. Maybe the timers necessary make this cost prohibitive though. I'm not in a position to say one way or the other.
Better (and more expensive) RFID tags may have an encrypted communication protocol.
