No, this is not possible. The only way you can share data between recipes like 
this is to write it into a file within the sysroot, or rely on it being 
specified for both recipes at the configuration level (although you've suggested 
the latter won't work for your situation).

Can you elaborate on what exactly you're trying to achieve?

Cheers,
Paul
