I think I understand what you're getting at.  Are you thinking in 
terms of having one directory tree for the application(s), and a 
separate directory tree for any libraries that the application(s) 
might need?  For example, assuming your vendor name is Caplan ...

     Caplan/
         Libname.php
        Libname/
             (etc)

     CaplanApp/
         Foo.php
         Foo/
             View/
             Locale/
             (etc)
         Bar.php
         Bar/
             View/
             Locale/
             (etc)

... yes?  If that's not what you had in mind, please correct me.

The recommendation, in general, is to keep both apps and libs in the 
same vendor tree.  Thus:

     Caplan/
         Libname.php
         Libname/
             (etc)
        App/
             Foo.php
             Foo/
                 View/
                 Locale/
                 (etc)
             Bar.php
             Bar/
                 View/
                 Locale/
                 (etc)

Strictly speaking, that's only a recommendation, not a requirement.  
You may have multiple projects that depend on libs from multiple 
other project name spaces ("vendor" spaces), and you may wish to go 
so far as to keep you apps in a separate project name space from your 
common libraries.

Hope this helps, please let me know if it does not.
