Yes.

Advice: put the shared code in one package (eventually with 
sub-packages but this is a bit harder at the start) and put your 
project each in one directory with their own dub.json/dub.sdl

Then you can use "path-based" dependencies to the shared code.

You can check the organization of dplug or GFM, with the 
examples/ directory.
You can use sub-packages / configurations for each project but I 
find it less clear.
