Yes.

Yes, but only if they are not already covered by existing recursive
module definitions, i.e. given the previous example:

> > MyModule -a ModuleFiles ModuleAmp

...if you add files or folders below AnotherModule or YetAnotherModule
then there is no need to update the modules file. This would only be
necessary if you add stuff to RepoModule (or somewhere entirely else
obviously).

Hope this helps.
