Just beucase there are 12 version in your addons folder, dosen't mean thet all get loaded. The newest compatible version of whatever library is needed is the only one that remains in memory after the game is all fired up.
Basically, the first one will load, the next one will check "Am I newer than the currently loaded version?", if not bail out and move on, so when all is said and done only ONE copy of each library is left in memory. Ace2 (and embeded librarys in general) lets mods have all the convinet things about no dependencies, without all the bloat that comes with it
Anyone worried about duplicate librarys or memory concerns with FuBar 2.0 (or any Ace2 addon) can read this excellent explenation here:

Also, for information about developing FuBar 2.0 plugins, you find a basica example along with the API documentation here:
