We (cbb software GmbH) have a commercial middleware for distributed process
automation and control. It has Ada, C++ and other interfaces.

Yes, this is a common case. Usually our customers have HMI designed in
"strange ways", much worse than C++, e.g. VisualBasic, LabView, DiaDem etc.
We leave it be, replacing the data acquisition/exchange layer with our
middleware.

You can do that, however its not very usual that the components communicate
directly with each other. More frequently you would have something like
model-view-controller, which is rather "vertical communication"
(application to hardware) than "horizontal" (application to application)
one. In effect applications do interact, but indirectly like in the MVC.
