Yes, you can use class files from different directories by adding all the directories to your classpath. If you're using an IDE, you can do so in your project's settings. If you're compiling from the command line, you can use the -classpath switch or the CLASSPATH environment variable to set the class path. On Windows multiple directories are separated by a semicolon.

So if you have p1.abc in d:\stuff\p1\abc.class and p2.pqr in e:\otherstuff\p2\pqr.class, you can compile a class that uses both those classes from the command line like this:

javac -classpath d:\stuff;e:\otherstuff MyClass.java
