Just take any of the smaller ones, for example plugins/filemanager in
kdevplatform.

It works always, as long as C++ support can find the relevant headers by
finding the needed include directories. So this might fail for
custom-makefile projects, custom buildsystems and under some
circumstances even for qmake project.

Note though, that code-completion might not get updates when the two
projects depend on each other and you change something in one without
building+installing it. This is because we don't yet have a mapping from
installed header files to the ones inside the source tree of opened
projects. So C++ support simply uses the installed header files at the
moment.
