If anything, I'd say that Assimilation² (which I have read) probably relies directly on Star Trek's "The Best of Both Worlds" more than "Storm in a Tikka" appears to on "Dimensions". Same can probably be said of other crossover stories, which often assume you're already familiar with the characters/universes crossing over.
