Thanks Tim, I will look into the shellprotocol.c.

Well, barring terminology issues, yes. You can use the EFI Boot Services
LoadImage() and StartImage(). If the x.efi installs a protocol before
StartImage() is called, then y.efi should be able to find the protocol produces
by x.efi and use it.
The Shell (ShellPkg) does this: it is an application that installs its own
protocols, then can load the .efi file specified by the user and these .efi
files can use the shell protocols. See ShellProtocol.c

Folks,
Would like to know whether it is possible to load one efi executable from
other. Say I have two applications x.efi and y.efi and whether I can read y.efi
into a buffer in x.efi through file read and execute y.efi from x.efi (as a
separate process) and utilizes the services provides by y.efi in x.efi. If
so is there any examples I can find in EDKII folders for understanding this
better.
Thanks
Sathya
