Every thing inside a single MVC skeleton. No MVC inside MVC.
That statement makes no sense.

Sorry for creating confusion. I was talking about modules.
For modules the standard examples shown follows mvc structure.
ie,
Application -- MVC
Well that is not at all a problem 
In fact its a good way of integrating independent applications
together.
However the application i am developing is having sub applications or
modules that have very smiler functionality. There is sharing in the
model too. So I was thinking of a single MVC skeleton that could make
it more easier to share and reuse the model. Also a single MVC
skeleton has better maintainability as redundancy in folder structure
is reduced.
Application -- Single MVC
So the config option I showed you earlier is your best bet then.

Now you see why i was suggesting COLDBOX_CONFIG_OBJS instead of
COLDBOX_CONFIG_FILE in the Application.cfc
The config file wont work here as its just one instance. For a
requirement like this you will need multiple config object instances.
Is there any way to do this in the Coldbox core files?
In your config.cfc you will need to do something like this.

@Jeetu, Sorry, it sounds like what you are trying (if I understand
what you are describing) is not possible without some extensive
changes to core. BUT, it seems to me that what you are describing is
exactly what a module is for. Please read up on them here:
http://wiki.coldbox.org/wiki/Modules.cfm
Yeah I agree, and with anything that should be shared like handlers views
etc. then this should be considered core code.
