Hello all,
I've got a basic dependency question. Consider the following
dependencies:
(module A) --> (module B)
(module A) --> (module C)
(module B) --> (module C)
So, C is a shared dependency between A and B, but A also depends on B.
My question is
No, they do not share C, they will use their own version of C, which is
whatever is specified in the package.json file for that module.

Dependencies (aka `require`s) are resolved synchronously.
So the flow is:
A --> B --> C
A --> C
Also modules are cached. [1] ie, they are not loaded twice. A and B
"see" the same version of C.

Hope this helps,

Well, it could be that B uses C-0.0.1 (declared in its package.json), and A
uses C-0.0.2
So
A --> B --> C-0.0.1
A --> C-0.0.2
node_modules/A/node_modules/B/node_modules/C <-- C-0.0.1 here
node_modules/A/node_modules/C <-- C-0.0.2 here

Right. I was referring to modules of the same package.

Dan, Rick, and Angel are all correct, but it depends somewhat on the situation.
See https://npmjs.org/doc/folders.html for a thorough explanation of
how npm does this, and http://api.nodejs.org/modules.html for a
thorough explanation of how Node resolves require() calls to real
files.
