Not sure about Paddington one - I think it's possible to get from one to

there.

There's no behind-the-barriers interchange. You have to go through the
mainline station.

I have been told that it's also possible to get from the H&C platforms to
the concourse without going through any barriers at all, but that's
another story ...

I haven't used Paddington for a while but yes I'm pretty sure it used
to be possible to go across to the Ealing Broadway local platform,
from which you could walk all the way along some lesser used main line
platform and end up at the business end of the main station (near the
entrance to the Bakerloo station).
