Multiple module configuration directive problem

I have two different but related modules to be installed on the same 
server.  Both of them need access to the same database and run as the same 
admin user.  Since one of the items each needs to know is a password that 
is root protected, configuration is done through custom directives rather 
than PerlSetVar.

Both modules are setup to read the same series of configuration directives 
when the server intializes, but the last declared (PerlModule name) wins 
out and the first declared doesn't get a look see.  I am simply replicating 
the mechanisms discussed in the eagle book, chapter #8, and declaring the 
same directives in each module.  Each module works fine by itself, so I 
assume there's some trick to it, or multiple modules and one set of 
directives can't be done.  Help!!!

two modules can read the same directive if the first returns
Apache::Constants::DECLINE_CMD

Solved my own problem -- read other modules config with:

   Apache::ModuleConfig->get($r, 'Apache::other_module')

Since that means each module has to figure out whether it's reading it's 
own directives or it's neighbors, this mechanism in this case is kind of 
cludgy.  Can I get both modules to actually read the same directives?

Thanks,
Rob
