I always remember an example of network filesharing from the Labs:  
you have foo's files under /n/foo and foo has bar's files under /n/ 
bar so you can access bar's files via /n/foo/n/bar without having to  
set up permissions or whatever to directly access bar, and the  
example carried on to show 4 or 5 levels. I think the example was in  
V6 or V7 Unix's docs, maybe V8's or something.

In such a setup and given an alternative attach point you'd have to  
double the work of every mount - or more like double the number of  
things which could be forgotten, no?
