I know a lot of people work that way, but you don't have to,

depending on the nature of the project. The most complicated
3D 
interface project I did had many other tricky aspects to it,
and I 
worked with Steve Warren on it. We would both have copies of
the 
Director movie, and would work on different features, almost
entirely 
in movie scripts. To get up to date we would just copy and
paste 
replace the cast members. For features that are parts needed
to work 
together, we would just tell each other what parameters to
pass, and 
what would come back. There wasn't a single external code
file in the 
entire project.

A side benefit of working that way was that we could choose
to not 
update for a while. That way both of us could do some risky
changes, 
and know for sure that the other person's routines hadn't
changed. 
Once the movie was stable again we'd then get the changed
modules 
from each other.
