I believe the Component Rules would apply here.
In brief, these rules are:
* Each component must be stored in a single folder.
* No file, registry entry, shortcut, or other resources should
ever be shipped as a member of more than one component. This applies
across products, product versions, and companies.
I don't know the philosophy, but a Component is a child of a Directory
(or DirectoryRef) and no two Components can have the same ID, so that
pretty much says why it can't work.

Subject: [WiX-users] Putting component files in different directories?
Can you place files that are in the same component in different
directories? If so, how is it done? If you can't do this, what is the
philosophy that lead to it being prohibited?
