A yang model must reside in a package. You can have a package that only contains yang models if you want, for shared datatypes or groupings it seems like a good idea.

To make use of a yang model in a different package you first change the Makefile (in src/Makefile), so the ncsc yang compiler can see the referenced yang module. Look for YANGPATH, the comments in the Makefile explain what you need to do.

You should also update package-meta-data.xml to reference the required package (see https://developer.cisco.com/docs/nso/guides/#!development-guide-nso-packages/nso-packages)
