ADFLibs in Fusion Web App - Jdev 11.1.2.3 on redhat 5.8

Question

Hello:
Say I create a ADF Fusion Web app called APP_LIB. This app has EO, VO, AM in the model project and has Pages, Fragments and Taskflows in the ViewController. I want to create an ADF Lib from APP_LIB, so I create a ADF Lib deployment profile on the ViewController project. Since the ViewController project is dependant on the Model project, the library should be created with EO, VO, AM, Pages, Fragments and TaskFlows. Right? Or would I create different Deployment Profiles for the Model Project and the ViewController Project and therefore 2 create two seperate ADF Libs?
Now I want to import the ADF lib from APP_LIB into another ADF Fusion Web app called ENTERPRISE_APP. If I imported the APP_LIB into the ViewController of ENTERPRISE_APP, would the EO, VO and AM show up in the Model project? Or do I have to import APP_LIB into both the Model Project and ViewController of ENTERPRISE_APP?
Is it better to keep the Libraries seperate for the Model Project and ViewController in APP_LIB and create two seperate ADF Libs for the Model and ViewController? What do the experts recommend when creating ADF libs on a project with Model Project and ViewController Project and also what is the best way to import the ADF LIB into a ADF Fusion App that also has a Model project and ViewController Project.
Do I create two ADF Libs: one ADF Lib for the Model Project and one ADF Lib for the ViewController and import each ADF Lib into the corresponding (Model and ViewController) Project in Enterprise APP?
Any recommendations?
Thanks much.

For proper separation of concerns we recommend creating a separate model ADF library. However, the ADF BC content can also go into the ADF library you create

They don't show up as they are internal implementation details. If you configured the library in your model project, then you can reuse entities, view objects and AM defined in the library

Depends on the level of modularization and reuse you are after. Say the ADF library contains a bounded task flow that uses a specific ADF BC model, then if the model is not used or required by any other view, you could put it into the same ADF library and deploy the task flow as a whole (you would need to configure the database connection after importing the lib). If the model should be used with other task flows or applications, then it makes sense to have it in its own ADF library.
