do you communicate among a 2nd or more level of classes?

Lets say I have this Main.as, I imported in Logo.as. And I have this Shadow.ac classes that I wanted to apply on to several classes too.

Main.as  
ActionScript Code:  
[LEFT]package [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000FF]import[/COLOR] flash.[COLOR=#000080]display[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]MovieClip[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#0000FF]import[/COLOR] classes.\*;

```
[COLOR=#0000FF]public[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] **class** [/COLOR] main [COLOR=#0000FF]extends[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]MovieClip[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#0000FF]public[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] logo:FlashBlogLogo = [COLOR=#000000] **new** [/COLOR] FlashBlogLogo[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
    [COLOR=#0000FF]public[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] dropShadow:DropShadow = [COLOR=#000000] **new** [/COLOR] DropShadow[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];

If I put it all under 1 as file, it would be no problem detecting the target, but now I’m separating the classes and loading all into “main.as”, how could 1 communicate with other classes without having to put it all together?
