A MITK module is just a shared library build with some custom CMake 
macros to ease the dependency management between the modules.

A plugin is also a shared library but it can take advantage of the 
plugin system offered by MITK to expose certain functionality in a 
modular way. Plug-ins are also used to tightly integrate functionality 
in the MITK application framework.

There is no direct relationship. The ExtApp loads a certain set of 
plug-ins, which may or may not have dependencies on certain MITK modules 
(because they use certain features provided by the module API, e.g. 
tracking or segmentation stuff). Modules could also be used in command 
line applications not at all related to ExtApp.

Yes, there is a sample project which demonstrates best practices. Please see
