You don't have to use screen, but that should work.

Reading over the manpage, something like this (but "sudo -u"d) should work:
# Create a new screen session, detached, with name
screen -d -m -S system-autostart-foo
# In a named window in that session, run bar
screen -S system-autostart-foo -X at cmd-bar# bar
# In a named window in that session, run baz
screen -S system-autostart-foo -X at cmd-baz# baz

But, I've never tried to use screen in this way, no this is just a guess.  I'm 
sure it's possible to use screen the way you want.
