What I meant is that this is a use case where such a public function would be handy.
Actually, if I understand the problem correctly, I don't think it's necessary. I think this should work:

char buf[MAXPDSTRING];sprintf(buf, "_my_external_lib1234_%s", s->s_name);if (buf->s_thing)
    t_send_test* sender = (t_send_test*)buf->s_thing;
Then in the pd_bind call for the sender, just make sure to use the same prefix "_my_external_lib1234_" on the front of the symbol.
class_getname is already a public function, so you can even use that to error-check for the edge-case where someone else tried to bind to that same name.

It's "pd_findbyclass" that wasn't working, because he was asking for a t_class* which had actually another value than the one he was really looking for.
He could have asked for the right t_class* value by calling "pd_findbyclassname" first.Or he can share the variable, either using "extern" and ensuring the right order of loading of the 2 externals, or grouping both objects into the same binary file (i.e only one "external").

Millers and Antoine's solution were, what solved the problem.

  Sounds like a use case for pd_findbyclassname

I'm confused. I thought Eric said pd_findbyclassname didn't work for this in this case.
