This is kind of ClassLoaders 101, unless I'm misunderstanding the question; see Stu Halloway's online PDF of "Component Development for the Java Platform" (available off of www.relevancellc.com) for a complete breakdown of the ClassLoaders model.
Short answer: classes go back to the ClassLoader that loaded them when looking to load new classes, so what you're asking should (modulo any other particular details you're not mentioning) work just fine.
