You can spread your models over several extensions - but there are some 
restrictions:

Repositories and Model can easily be used above the extension border. 
Just call the constructor and use them. Relations can be set in TCA - 
this works fine for me.

If you want to use controllers from another extension you have the 
problem, that you can't configure a "foreign" controller in your 
module/plugin configuration (ext_tables.php/ext_localconf.php) - we 
avoid this problem by providing a controller that extends the one from 
the other extension without adding any functions.

Sharing Views/Partials/Layouts is also possible - you have set the 
path's inside a controller that should use files located in another 
extension.
