using Mercurial for multiple sources

I have a scenario where a number of sources contribute files to the same
source tree. 
Basically: 
- Contributor 1: Main source tree
- Contributor 2: Plugin/Module #1
- Contributor 3: Plugin/Module #2
- ...

Each of them (Main, #1, #2, ...) are in individul Mercurial repositories.

It would be easier if all plugins were restricted to their own directories
(forest!), but this is not the case (they can each add files in the root
folder).

Usually plugin modules will not clash filenames with Main or other modules
(we can assume this).

I wonder if this is possible to set up with Mercurial (and extensions). 

We'd like this to be possible:
1 - In the working copy, edit module files and be able to commit them back
to the right repository 
2 - In the working copy, edit Main files and be able to commit back to its
repository.

2 has lower priority than 1. 

Good ideas appreciated.
