I haven't tried it and I wouldn't recommend it, that could result in all 
the record types, soft device support and other items getting registered 
twice, which I suspect might have nasty consequences.
Take a look at the *_registerRecordDeviceDriver.cpp file that gets 
generated in your IOC's build directory and see what it is doing.  You 
could create an equivalent source file to this by hand for the things 
that are in each module if you wanted to, but you would have to repeat 
that process any time you upgraded a module.  You have already 
experienced the weird kinds of errors that can occur if you get this 
stuff wrong though.
