Nope.  I've run ZODB, outside of Zope, with two different
FileStorages.  Even broke some of my code, since it showed I
was sharing an object across the databases.

Errm, just realized I don't know if the FileStorage's were used
sequentially (open/close/open/close) or in parallel (open/open/
close/close).

Easy to test ....  Yep, just opened two ZODBs at the same time.
But I don't know how to commit one without commiting the other.

My test was all in the same process.

P.S.
  I thank Andrew Kuchling for last year pushing the use of
ZODB outside of Zope.  It's been an extremely cool.
