A plugin can contain a number of different elements - using multiple
elements from the same plugin is fine.

You can also use multiple instances of the same element in a pipeline
with no trouble.

What you CANNOT do is use the same instance of an element in two
different places in a pipeline.

It's unclear which of the above things you were asking about - but the
only thing you need to take care of is that your elements may not use
global shared state; that's a basic gstreamer rule for all code.
