Can jar files included in plugins override vCO implementation jars

Is it possible to use a newer version of certain dependencies on vCO plugin implementations than that used by the vCO service its self?

I can only imagine that plugins run in their own class loader, but what ordering is used when loaded classes at the plugin level? As a concrete example looking at my vCO 5.5 server I see Spring 3.1.3 is used in the implementation of vCO. If I wanted to use Spring 3.2.5 in my plugin would I generate a conflict, or should I stick to matching dependencies of my plugin to implementation versions from the vCO application?
