A method in a computer for facilitating interaction between an application program and a subsystem is disclosed. The method includes providing a virtual process file system layer. The virtual process file system layer is configured to interact with the subsystem in a substantially content-independent manner. The method additionally includes providing a content dependent module, the content dependent module being associated with the subsystem and is configured interact with the subsystem in a content-dependent manner. The method further includes providing a directory structure table, the directory structure table being configured to track a name of the content dependent module, wherein the content-dependent module is configured to be registered with the directory structure table using a dynamic name.
