We've been using Potemkin inside Titanium, Ogre, and Archimedes. It works well for importing functions, but I'm about to do a rewrite of Titanium and Ogre because of complications arising from being clever with importing dynamic vars. I would caution against trying to import dynamic vars (or functions that rely on dynamic vars) between libraries. -Zack
