Insert a global object inside plugin which other plugin can use to extend its functionality. like 

module.exports = function( server, databaseObj, helper, packageObj, plugins) {
     //Suppose this plugin uses login plugin functionality..
     plugins.login.addUserToAdmin()

}

Or we should export the methods which we wants to use in the plugins and and then we can use it by exporting the methods.

Also every plugins must have a onInit method in which the function which should run which should initialize the plugins.

You cannot use node default method to export methods as. it has a database attachment to method that can only be initialize at run time.

One options is to create a static method in the helper function. var plugin-load = loadPlugin('plugin-name') which will load the required plugins.
