How to share weights between two layers?

I have been working on a similar problem… after following @InnovArul code in the thread already linked, I was able to get it to work. Though I am unsure how the different methods effect the end result… they seem to all work, is it just a matter of speed? I also have another related question, what if I wish to tie weights between layers that are within different classes or modules. Would I return the weight data, and then pass in the weight data into the other classes? Would this still allow me to tie the weights?

Edit: Of course after staring at @InnovArul 's code for an hour… it is straight after I post this question that I figure out what he is doing regarding passing weight data through classes and so figure out my own question. I still wonder about the difference between the three methods though.
