Seems you are asking for trouble explicitely. I never did this and
I would strongly try to avoid this even if it somehow possible with
dpkg source format 3.0.

Why not simply creating separate *binary* packages from the source you
provided. When I wrote about common files inside freediams and
freemedforms source my suggestion was to move those files which are
common in both projects should be moved to common binary files
(preferably originated from freediams source because this is just here).
Once it comes to freemedforms packaging just use these common binary
files as dependencies. It is your decision whether you drop these extra
copies from freemedforms source package (I personally would for my own
comfort as upstream because code duplication just sucks).
Please keep on asking if something remains unclear.
Kind regards
Andreas.
