What about this:
Repository:
/trunk/common
/trunk/resources
/trunk/tools
/trunk/projects
/trunk/projects/calc
/trunk/projects/note
/SingleProjCO/calc/projects/calc <where calc is an svn::externals to /trunk/projects/calc
/SingleProjCO/calc/common <where common is an svn::externals to /trunk/common
/SingleProjCO/calc/resources <where resources is an svn::externals to /trunk/common
/SingleProjCO/calc/tools <where tools is an svn::externals to /trunk/common
/SingleProjCO/note/projects/note <where note is an svn::externals to /trunk/projects/note (<-changed)
/SingleProjCO/note/common <where common is an svn::externals to /trunk/common
/SingleProjCO/note/resources <where resources is an svn::externals to /trunk/common
/SingleProjCO/note/tools <where tools is an svn::externals to /trunk/common
Then,
Developer A only wants to build calc
svn co <URI>/SingleProjCO/calc .
And gets...
common
resources
tools
projects/calc
Developer B only wants to build note
svn co <URI>/SingleProjCO/note .
And gets...
common
resources
tools
projects/note
Developer C wants the whole enchilada:
svn co <URI>/SingleProjCO/trunk .
And gets...
common
resources
tools
projects/calc
projects/note
