Allow me to rephrase that in a way I think you are meaning.  You are 
trying to use one module to alter the configuration of another module.  
It really shouldn't be done.  However, anything is possible.  Using the 
ap_get_module_config in a case where you are grabbing the configuration 
of the other module, you are going to have all kinds of linking problems 
- if you do it this way, it means you have to redefine the core module.

Another alternative is available though.  Rather than editing the core 
module's configuration, you may be able to use a different kind of 
directive.  I've never done a module like this, but look into using the 
override option of EXEC_ON_READ instead of an OR_AUTHCFG or RSRC_CONF.  
The headers declare that type to be able to modify the configuration 
file as it's being read.  The #Include option is one of these such 
directives, and may provide a good pointer on which way to turn.
