There is no such restriction in the Java Platform Module System -- 
please look at java.lang.reflect.Layer. The restriction to a single 
version of each module resides in the 'java' launcher [*] because we 
don't want to change the class loading behavior of regular Java 
applications.

[*] That's not the full story, as the boot layer with the application 
loader has already been created by the time the launcher runs, but from 
the user's point of view it's all "the 'java' launcher".
