you mean, (bind) mounting the filesystem tree of those
guests?

the host is the physical server, if each guest has a
separate device or partition, and your guest config
contains a proper fstab entry, util-vserver will mount
them into your guest's namespace on startup

the xid is the context id, and has little to do with
the filesystem (tree) used by the guests, except for:
a) guests are identified by xid, and so are the
private namespaces
b) processes with the same xid (started by util-vserver)
will share the same guest (namespaces)
c) tagging (filesystem persistant context information)
is based on xid (context ids) to some extend

if you just want to share a filesystem (tree) between
two guests, the simplest solution is to put the (bind)
mount(s) into the guest config's fstab and be done
