Sure, Fusion has been reverse engineered when DirectFB was working with
multiple applications in multiple threads, making it work with multiple
applications in multiple processes...
The major difference to client/server is the elemental and substantial usage
of shared memory for shared data structures to run shared (distributed) code.
Building on that there are several kinds of bridges between processes, e.g.
message distribution, synchronous and asynchronous RPC, different kinds of
locks...

FusionDale is a higher level library building on Fusion to provide an
application
level interface for different usage scenarios, but at the moment the only really
useful part is Coma, the Component Manager. It's really worth to look at and
might
solve most of your needs, especially if you have a predefined set of
applications
with predefined roles and tasks to accomplish.
BTW, I've put the README text onto the site:
