Even if you generate different Id you can't link the same file twice in your installer, if you use heat to harvest ther same folder more than one time, you need to apply a transformation based on *xslt, to filtere the file as they were contained only in one component.For the directories you could refer the same directory in more than one component generated by head, but in this case you need to use another transform to change the id for each heat session.
