You aren't specifying how the APs are to be used, you're specifying how you are improving the position of your ally. Shooting regular arrows at a gorp isn't going to help your rapidly-dissolving freind, so as a narrator, I'd disallow that as a means of lending APs. If your friend has a "flaming arrow" feat but no bow and arrow, on the other hand, you could fire the arrow and your friend could make it burst into flames. There are at least two ways of converting this into game terms: Archer lends APs and combatant uses feat against gorp, or combatant augments arrow with fire and archer attacks gorp with archery ability.
