So if I had some shared code between two projects, what is the
recommendation?

trunk/projectA
trunk/projectB
trunk/shared
branches/...
tags/...

or

projectA/
        trunk/
        branches/
        tags/
projectB/
        trunks/
        branches/
        tags/

etc using externals?

Do I understand right that with externals I'll have to commit once for
the "root", and once for the "external root"?
Do externals complicate the branch/tag scenario?

Or is there another layout that would work in this situation?

Thanks,
Jim
