svn:externals is the way I would do this.
Your repo structure could be like this:
Program
Source
Core
Plugin1
Plugin2
Inputs
CoreInputs
Plugin1Inputs
Plugin2Inputs
ProgramPlugins
Plugin3
Source
Inputs
On Program/Source you would set the svn:externals property to
"Plugin3 http://url/to/repo/ProgramPlugins/Plugin3/Source" and on
Program/Inputs you would set svn:externals to "Plugin3Inputs http://
url/to/repo/ProgramPlugins/Plugin3/Inputs"
When you check out http://url/to/repo/Program you will get the
directory structure you want.

This might not happen, however. You'll have to commit changes to
Plugin3 separately from changes to Program.
