Yes, absolutely. Since they in turn have dependencies to either 
subclipse or subversive.

The Plugin Manager will not let you install the Subclipse reader type 
unless you also install the Subclipse plugins that it is dependent on 
(or have it installed already). I believe the same thing is true for the 
Subversive reader. So no, there will be no error, just random behavior.
