Backstabbing rules are even more generous than that. You don't need 2 people in melee, one person in melee and one person shooting with a ranged weapon is enough to trigger flanking. I'm not sure if 2 people with ranged weapons engaging one target qualifies as flanking since I don't use any ranged sneak attackers, but it wouldn't surprise me if it qualified as flanking.
