LaTeX floats and consecutively numbered equations -

I have some equations that appear in a floating shape. Unfortunately, the same equation number is assumed that the float (and therefore the equation) are visible in the condition that the float was defined. Conceptually, a page will look like this:

  equation # 1 data equation begins # 2 figure equation # 3 ends  

but If latex is at the top of the figure page, then I want to count it like this:

equation equation begins # 1 equation # 1 ends equation # 2

Is latex possible to do this?

In a way, it will only be used for countless use of the equation inside the float, and then this "shape See the equation in: {fig: foo} "
