if by accident if I have two services.xml then I might have some
problem. The reason I am telling this is we have the services.xml in
source tree that will compiled to where it has, and then using some
build tools we will copy that into some other location. So we will have
two services.xml. For example have a look at version service in Axis2.

Yes, it is correct since are only check the first level directories.
