I did some tests here. The full module is inserted, as explained in the 
previous mail.
I once thought that one copy of a module woyuld be running in memory and 
that all active programs would just call this daemon. But that would 
mean that the state of the program (eg EOF) as a result of Prog1 
calling the daemon would have effect to Prog2 (calling the same daemon) 
as well. I started several instances of a program and in each program I 
created error conditions. None of which were 'visible' in the other 
programs.
