The document in the link below is for desktop Windows. WinCE does not have
named pipes or mailslots. I don't think it has DDE either but I'm not sure.
DCOM (RPC) is only available on some WinCE images since it's an optional
component, and it's an expensive component (+500KB) at that so I would avoid
it if at all possible.
CE has a light-weight message queuing mechanism that is unique to it --
check out CreateMsgQueue and related APIs.
If you are doing something with a traditional client-server approach (even
if client & server are running on the same machine), then you may consider
writing a service DLL for services.exe. Check out
