Inclusion of the QED higher order radiative corrections in the two-photonprocess, e+e- -> e+e- mu+mu-, is examined by means of the structure functionand the parton shower. Results are compared with the exact $O(\alpha)$calculations and give a good agreement. These two methods should be universallyapplicable to any other non-annihilation processes like the single-Wproductions in the e+e- collisions. In this case, however, the energy scale forthe evolution by the renormalization-group equation should be chosen properlydepending on the dominant diagrams for the given process. A method to find themost suitable energy scale is proposed.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX, 5 figure
