Guillermo, Having one application depend on another is OK. If your are writing a generic reusable application that other can download and plug in then generic keys may be the way to go. If however, you are simply having one of your own apps depend on another I strongly suggest not using generic foreign keys, they have drawbacks that could hinder you down the road.
