Subject: Question for programmers---is this possible?

When program A is playing against program B in a game, we know that program
A is looking for best move to play based on its own search for next move to
reply to its own move. Then searches for next best reply to that move, and next
best reply to that move, etc. All this based on its own search.
In other words, if a program is playing white, it is also playing black at the
same time, in its own eval. A programs eval doesnt even know its actually
playing against another program, it thinks it is playing against itself.

I was wondering, lets say this game is being played at one of the chess sevrers.

1. opponent A has two computers. On one computer opponent A has program x. On
his other computer opponent A has program xx. Both with very strong hardware.

2. opponent B has one computer. On his computer opponent B is running program
xx. Very strong hardware.

what if opponent A was able to enter expected moves of program xx into program
x. It would seem that this would be advantage.

could you please comment if this is possible in todays software.
