OK!  A couple of points:
1) In you main project the classes you want visible in the plugin must 
be exported and
2) (Obviously) the methods you want to expose to the plugin must be public.

Here's what I think you are trying:
MAIN PROGRAM "Main" module
--------------------------
' Gambas module file

Export

Public Sub Main()

   Dim hXXX As Object

   Component.Load("ph.plugin")
   ' Print Class.IsLoaded("PluginA")

   hXXX = Object.New("PluginA")

Catch
   Error Subst("&1\nERR: &2 (&3)\n&4\n&1\n", String$(40, "-"), 
Error.Text, Error.Code, Error.Backtrace.Join("\n"))

End

Public Function Addup(nums As Integer[]) As Integer
   Dim iTot As Integer
   For idx As Integer = 0 To nums.Max
     iTot += nums[idx]
   Next
   Return iTot
End

PLUGIN COMPONENT "PluginA" class
--------------------------------
' Gambas class file

Export

Public Sub _new()

   Dim cxx As Class = classes["Main"]
   Print object.call(cxx, "Addup", [[1, 5, 2, 5, 9]])

End
