FWIW - I've got some classes in both, and the second one to load is calling into the code from the first one to load. Is there a way to keep each one from seeing the classes/code in the other? there's no way to prevent this in Objective C at the moment (google for "flat namespace"). Defining common classes in one plugin and having other plugins counting on that plugin to be loaded is probably asking for trouble. 1) if you can, put all of your plugin classes into a single bundle. We use this technique ourselves; I can explain how it works if you'd like. 2) if you can't do #1, put the common classes in a shared framework, and have both plugins link to the framework. Really, the only reason not to do #1 is if the two plugins are two separate products, sold separately, and the user could legitimately have one installed but not the other. But it sounds like if that were the case, what you're doing wouldn't work (plugin B depends on plugin A, right?). Paul Miller wrote: (I know - this is a goofy one).
