In psychoanalytic thought (see Kernberg), they're believed to be the poles of a continuum of personality organization.
On one end, you have psychosis, which is a loss of touch with reality -- involving hallucinations and/or delusions. This is typically associated with schizophrenia.
On the other end, you have neurosis, which is a comparatively mild psychological disorder resulting in distress or mild impairment.
The term borderline was first used by Adolf Stern in 1938 to describe individuals who seemed to have a mild form of schizophrenia. They seemed to straddle the psychotic/neurotic fence.
