I think we may be talking at cross-purposes. What I mean is that
if we have two programs foo and bar that both use a library lib,
and I check out foo, giving me:

  foo/foo.c
  foo/lib/lib.c

and I edit foo/lib/lib.c and check it in,
you should then be able to check out bar and get

  bar/bar.c
  bar/lib/lib.c

with my changes to lib.c. I haven't seen anything in the
Subversion documentation to suggest that this can be done.

Peter.
