Simple declare the namespace where the file is located and create an instance of the component in the primary app.
If in the same folder as the main app MXML file:
xmlns:comp="*"    where comp can be anything (myComponents, components, etc.)
If a sub-folder "components" of the main app MXML file:
xmlns:comp="components.*"    where comp can be anything (myComponents, components, etc.)
<comp:MyFancyComponent id="myComp"/>    declare an instance of the component.
Then do this:
myAppVar = myComp.myCompVar;
