Can plugin scripts (created) "talk to" other plugin scripts?

I was thinking of creating my own PDC plugin that there would be two plugins... a sender and a receiver. In between would be any plugin. The sender sends a sample thru the plugin, at the end of the plugin the receiver calculates how long the sample took to get to the other side. That's the new PDC value.

There are indeed ways to have plug-ins talk to each other, but measuring latency in real time is not as easy as it may seem for most processors. For example, a linear phase filter will spread the energy over many samples, and if you measure the first non-zero sample you will get 0 latency, whereas it DOES have latency (it just spreads the energy before and after the impulse). And if the plug-in changes its latency when changing its parameters, you have to keep measuring it, and you cannot use it to process audio at the same time.
