[cciug] branching structure question

Does anyone see a problem with using the following branching structure?
First, the label LABEL_A may be at /main/LABEL_A or
/main/branch_1/LABEL_A. Assuming LABEL_A is the baseline,

element * CHECKEDOUT
element * .../branch_2/LATEST
element * LABEL_A -mkbranch branch_2
element * /main/0 -mkbranch branch_2

The above config spec would mean the branch_2 would originate from /main
or from /main/branch_1. The alternative is,

element * CHECKEDOUT
element * .../branch_2/LATEST
element * .../branch_1/LABEL_A -mkbranch branch_2
element * .../branch_1/0 -mkbranch branch_2
element * LABEL_A -mkbranch branch_1
element * /main/0 -mkbranch branch_1

This config spec would ensure that branch_2 always originates from
/main/branch_1. Is this necessary, or would the first config spec cause
any problems (merging, etc.) if branch_2 for one element originated from
/main and for another element from /main/branch_1? Of course, in both
examples, the baseline is the same.
