it is: 'post__in' with two underline characters. http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Post_.26_Page_Parameters do you want to exclude the sticky posts from the second loop? http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Pagination_Parameters then add it to the second query:
$the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_status' => 'future', 'post_type' => 'post', 'order' => 'DESC', 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1 ) ); ?>
