I'd have to say that code reuse has less to do with architecture and more to
do with having a consistent, well thought out, and documented API for common
functions plus some discipline on the part of the coders to use the API or
add to it instead of just hacking together something new each time.  It's as
much a culture of insisting on good practices as it is good code.
