The SCF, RBF, and clock functionality of Drivewire is already split into
separate modules that do not communicate with each other.  However, all
three of these share a dependency on the common "DW sub" module that
provides the low level serial communication.  This common module will need
to be available to both the rbf and SCF address space (and the clock if
that's made into a separate area).  So long as that is done, there should
not be a problem.
