A named module contains a set of named packages. Only resources with 
names that map to those packages can be encapsulated, there is no 
support in the design for encapsulating other random resources that 
aren't in any of the module's packages. So resources in locations like 
the top-level directory of a JAR file or META-INF/mumble can never be 
encapsulated because these locations to not map to packages in a named 
module.

For the M and N example then if they both contain the same package 
(assuming not-exported) then the only restriction is that they cannot be 
defined to the same class loader.
