In custom actions, external dependencies are recommended against. If you have common code you need to share, consider putting that into a static library and linking that into both CAs. It's a little extra overhead, but is more robust and safer than streaming out binary dependencies at install time.
You should also consider DLLs CAs as well which have many benefits, as detailed here: http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2007/10/24/exe-custom-actions-are-bad.aspx.
