Do you mean, although I am building my support module with base.dbd included, I may provide my own  *_registerRecordDeviceDriver.cpp file (corrected one - comment out everything  related to base.dbd) and get away with it?

Andrew, but can I get away with including base.dbd in the support
module? What if it's included in the main IOC for the second time?

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.
