Firstly you can't "run an app" as such. Think of apps as folders on your desktop -- they organise and compartmentalise in Django. > Let's say I have two apps and I want to display some items from app1 > and some from app2 in the same view.

Pick which app the view "belongs" to most, and put it there. Then just "from <someotherapp> import <whateveryouneed>". If you can't decide, then that's probably an indicator it shouldn't be in either. There's nothing about creating a third app that violates DRY; don't repeat yourself refers to duplicating knowledge, not code per se. I often have apps who don't really do much other than amalgamate smaller, more tightly-focused apps. Template tags and context processors are just tools -- you're talking architecture and organisation at this point.
