WPF ResourceDictionaries

Question

I have a wpf tab control which is highly customized through styles. I have referenced those styles in a resourcedictionary "TabControlResources". How do I reference "TabControlResources" in another resourcedictionary?. I have a resourcedictionary called "MainViewResources" and I would like to reference the tab style from my "TabControlResources" in that resourcedictionary.

Thanks in advance.
