Couldn't the PKG_ADD file check to see whether the dependent directory 
is in the load path (or functions that it will call are available) and 
it not add the dependent directory before proceeding?

Or, is it possible to just do all of the real work in one PKG_ADD file 
and the other would just load the dependent directory if needed?  That 
might meed custom creation of the PKG_ADD files instead of generating 
from PKG_ADD directives in the sources as I think we do now.  Or it 
might require some modification of the current scheme of generating them.
