but this would force the 'client'-plugin, that wants to use some functions 
of  the 'server'-plugin, to include a header, that defines the extended 
plugin-class. Or how should the client-plugin know about the additional 
functions? And what, if the server-plugin isn't installed?

I agree to Udo, that a general purpose interface would be a better solution.

BR,
