They share some program files (.PRGs) and class libraries (.VCXs) at source code level (I mean those PRGs and VCXs are members of those projects). The problem is that I've got no technical documentation of any kind of any of those projects and it's really hard to figure out what the side effect will be when changing the functionality of any of these PRGs or classes on the VCXs.

Doing global changes is quite risky. I suggest keeping separate versions of the files. Version control / source control software (like Visual SourceSafe, but there are also free tools) can help you syncronize files between projects - or go back to previous versions.
