Yep, that's perfectly fine, it's the definition of tier3, see the first
section in http://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Policies.

Why is that? And what's the difference between a Tier 3 thing that depends
on another Tier 3 thing and a Tier 4 thing?
Tier4 is very special: it's for things that offer additional integration
automatically (without providing an API, so more like plugins).
And for things which are deprecated and sit on top of everything else.

In other words: "pure-KF5" applications shouldn't link to anything from tier4.
mmm. What about kstyle then ? (tier4/frameworkintegration/src/kstyle)
used to make easier kf5 widget styles ? (hence definitly not a plugin)

The API layer stops at tier3.
