yes there is.
You can load dll's dynamicly

Code:

HMODULE my_dll = LoadLibrary("A.dll");

After that you must load all ProcAddresses that you need, for example

Code:

typedef WINSHELLAPI void (WINAPI *pILFree)(LPCITEMIDLIST pidl);
pILFree ILFree = (pILFree)GetProcAddress(my_dll, MAKEINTRESOURCE(195));

This creates a pointer to the function that is inside the dll.

GetProcAddress() can be used in 2 ways:
#1 by position (INTRESOURCE)
#2 by name GetProcAddress(my_dll, "winampDSPGetHeader2");

the typedef part is used to identify the function as how it is inside the dll.
I think i'm not 100% here so others could addl in or correct me

Then when you don't need the dll anymore you use

Code:

FreeLibrary(my_dll);
