TBH, I have no idea.

How is log4cplus linked to the Forexconnect and how is log4cplus linked
to your application?

I think that if you provide your own log4cplus DLL with different name
than the Forexconnect one, things might work. Hmm, but I guess you would
have to make sure that you do not mix your log4cplus headers and
Forexconnect's log4cplus headers. Worst case, you would have to rename
your log4cplus' namespace to something different to avoid conflict and
recompile your log4cplus binary with this change as well.

So, answer to your question seems more like no rather than yes.
