Dwayne,

There are, at least, two potential outcomes.  First, if you restored the 
program libraries to Production #2, you might not have the latest 
"stuff."  Which is, I think, to what you were alluding.

Second, if the files are changed on Production #1, the programs 
obviously have to be changed there, as well.  If you then tried to 
access the files on Production #2 with these programs you would get a 
level check.

If it were me, I'd backup and restore the program libraries to 
Production #2 when I restored the data files.  But it really depends 
upon what the purpose of Production #2 is, doesn't it?
