Actually, that is not right. They *could* be the same file if they have the same name, but don't count on it. Same name does not, for example, mean same version, and that's the main reason you will need to be mindful of files being overwritten.
Example 1:
You include an OEM with an certain DLL, but it gets overwritten by an older version somewhere in EXT.
Example 2:
You include an OEM of Manila in a folder named 'Manila' but also include a Manila modification OEM in a folder named something alphabetically higher, like 'Blue Manila Highlights' -- you will find that the 'Blue Manila Highlights' gets applied before 'Manila' and the plain 'Manila' will overwrite the 'Blue Manila Highlights' instead of the other way around.
So, not only do EXTs overwrite OEMs (if files are the same) but OEMs later in the alphabet will overwrite OEMs earlier in the alphabet if the files are the same. Does that make sense?
