I'm not sure what you mean here but reliable configuration extends to 
layers of modules too. When creating the configuration for a layer then 
you can't have a module M that reads two other modules (irrespective of 
which layer they are in) that export the same package to M.

So what is the background to this thread, are you running into a split 
package issue when trying to migrate something to modules?
