Sorry I didn't get back to you till now, but it looks like things are covered as far as accessing a stack file from lc server. As for the other direction, (lc server talking to an in memory stack..) FROM the stack itself would be a simple http request, but the reverse not so much.
I'm now curious though. If one were to change an lc stack file, and have your executing stack look for an updated timestamp ever so often, you could have it unload the old version, and reload the freshly updated one for processing possibly. Though it would probably be simpler to have lc server write to a file and just load whatever new data from the file with the stack. Or, if the stack doesn't need to be running all the time, lc server could shell call the stack executable (perhaps a simple stackrunner) that would take an external stackfile name as a parameter to do whatever it is you need to do. Also, depending on what you need to do, the httpd stack by andre garzia is pretty awesome. (it would bipass the need for lc server, but is single threaded so might not be appropriate for some things) Its been a while since I messed with it, but when I did, I set up an android app that took in swipes and clicks and sent the information to the httpd stack (and at the time I had managed to build a "click" external.. its probably here somewhere).. basically i had a home brew computer remote control app that was incredibly simple to build, and worked great. If it fits your use case, that httpd stack is awesome.
