It sounds somewhat like you are trying to "share" a configuration between two or more services.
This was legit in HiveMind (the precursor to Tapestry 5 IoC). However, in the vast majority of cases, each service had at most one configuration associated with it (often sharing the same name as the service) and the sharing of configurations between services was rare. As a way to simplify things, in Tapestry 5 IoC, each service is allowed a single configuration. This effectively unifies service names with configuration names. In the situations where I have two services, A and B, that share a configuration, my approach has been to create a third service, C. C owns the configuration, and its service interface defines methods needed by A and B to access that configuration data. Often I've found that A and B don't need the raw configuration data, they need "cooked" data, derived from the raw configuration data. For instance, the configuration data may include Class objects, and the other services may need instances of those Classes. Thus the C service can be responsible for instantiating and caching those objects. Many other similar cases are present in the Tapestry source code. This is a great separation of concerns, and I think that your hypothetical tests for services A and B will be simpler, clearer and more effective because of it.
