Using Views
bcp can use views to export data from a database. This means an export of data can be a result set of data from multiple tables (and with distributed queries, even multiple servers).
You can also use a view with bcp to load data back into tables. However, as is the case with normal T-SQL inserts, you can load into only one of the underlying tables at a time.
