Using my example scheme (admittedly only dreamt up in about 10 seconds, so
it might have pitfalls I haven't thought of yet):

StingPlus:
  StingPlusBase
  SSCommon=SSReceiver/Source/Common
  SSDocs=SSReceiver/Doc

(if you don't need the SSCommon and SSDocs modules separate)
or..

SSCommon:
  =SSReceiver/Doc

SSDocs:
  =SSReceiver/Source/Common

StingPlus:
  StingPlusBase
  SSCommon
  SSDocs

(if you do want them separate)

I like this scheme as it's obvious (I think) what you'll get when you
checkout the module.  Feel free to come up with something better, though.
