svn:externals can handle this just fine. But you need to set
svn:externals on the Dev directory of Project A then, not its parent
directory, and the contents of the svn:externals property on the Dev
directory should be as follows:

Applet https://svnrepository/ProjectB/Applet
OS https://svnrepository/ProjectB/OS
Plugin https://svnrepository/ProjectC/Plugin
