Answer 1

Yes, Composer allows you to add private projects as 'repositories' to your composer.json file. So therefore you can include private projects into another project.

It provides support for GitHub and Bitbucket (as well as SVN and Mercurial).

You need to modify your composer.json file to look something like this:

{
    "repositories": [ {
        "type": "package",
        "package": {
            "name": "TheShiftExchange/test",
            "version": "1.0.0",
            "source": {
                "url": "https://github.com/TheShiftExchange/test.git",
                "type": "git",
                "reference": "master"
              }
         }
    }],
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.0.*",
        "TheShiftExchange/test": "1.0.*"
    },
}
