Correct.

The thing is, there nothing but the "people" to check on this. The compiler doesn't care. Linkeditor doesn't care. Etc. Down to the people to keep this straight.

Comparing dbz's set-up to yours, you might be able to benefit from some simplication.

Program A calls Z with a table of pointers.

Z establishes address of all required "shared" storage requirements, putting addresses in relevant entries in table of pointers.

Table of pointers is included in linkage to all modules that A calls.

Modules that A calls, and any subsequent calls, can refer to the data they require without further recourse to Z (by setting relevant linkage to relevant address from table of pointers).
