Mach4 Industrial allows multiple instances of the full system including 
gcode interpretation. It is only being supported with 6 instances but 
the design is not limited. Lua scripts can start with

inst = mc.mcGetInstance()

if (inst == 0) then

so full coordination between instances and scripts is possible.

I talked to Brian Barker about this and he said it was one of the base 
design considerations on Mach4 and not likely to be something that could 
be added under existing code.
