Sorry I can't make this any clearer for you.  A plugin (attribute
definition, data connector, principal connector) can get the attribute
objects from other plugins that are explicitly listed as its
dependencies.  That's it.  There is nothing else.  If you don't list a
plugin as a dependency you don't get it is one.
