Submodules for plugins or for dependencies?

Question

Suppose Project X is the base project, and Project Y depends on X. Project Y may be a plug-in for Project X, or perhaps it is a stand-alone application that requires Project X in a different way.

I kept thinking that project Y should be a super project, and Project X should be a submodule of project Y.

However, after reading this , it seems that my thinking can be inverted. In the article, dependency is a super project and dependent code (in this case plugins) are submodules. Is this the right way to use submodules, then?
