There's no single reference. There's two peer daemons because one's the
server and the other's the requester. There's two pmshell instances
because on owns the PM session and the other implements the WPS. The
sysinit's are usually VDM's of one sort or another. I forget exactly what
the epwmux's do. IIRC, they implement the FFST components.

You might want to scan the OS/2 Debugging Handbook in the Warp4 Toolkit.
It's got some good diagrams of how the pieces hang together. There's are
other good references, but you already have this one, since you have eCS.
