What we did was deploy our Business-Logic and Data-Access Layers to the GAC as a dll, and in our SharePoint WebParts, we referenced these dlls. Whenever I need to call upon a service in my BLL, create an instance of a model, query the custom DB (we only use Stored Procedures) etc., we just had to include the proper reference in the class. Moreover, if I ever had to update the layers to add a new service/model/entity it would be a single update.

Global Assembly Cache. "The global assembly cache stores assemblies specifically designated to be shared by several applications on the computer". You can use 'gacutil.exe' to install your dll into the GAC, and then reference it in your sharepoint webpart project Jul 8, 2013 at 15:00
