Firstly you can't "run an app" as such. Think of apps as folders on
your desktop -- they organise and compartmentalise in Django.

Pick which app the view "belongs" to most, and put it there. Then just
"from import ". 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.
