Yup! I have for instance a solution that contains my WCF Web Services projects, a Windows app that collects and sends data to the Web Service (via WCF) and yet another that contains my Web App that interacts with the same web service (via WCF) and displays this data. It makes it really easy to go back and forth to see how I have to change each piece to make them work better together. Also when debugging, I can set break points in each solution so when I am stepping through the win app to send data - click step and then the web service solution breaks to see it hit there. Very cool.

Now, the caveat is I have some common projects in the solutions. If I change code in one of those common projects, then the other instance causes a quick reload of that project because the code changed outside that instance. Not a big deal though.
