I can't speak for gschem, but ideally the answer would be "no".

Part of the idea of plugins is freedom in developing additional 
functionality.  Each plugin should be treated as a black box to 
everything else.  You have a certain defined interface, and 
nothing else.

If they could share state, the risk of one clobbering another 
would be very high.
