Subject: Can $PATH look into sub-folders?

It is my understanding the zsh (and others) do not usually look into
sub-folders of $PATH for commands.
For example, if /usr/local/bin/ is in my $PATH and I have a folder
/usr/local/bin/private/ then zsh would not ‘see’ any scripts/utilities/etc
that were in /usr/local/bin/private/ unless I specifically added
/usr/local/bin/private/ to my $PATH.
That seems to be my experience, at least.
My question is whether or not there is an option (a zsh-specific option is
fine) which would tell zsh to include sub-folders of $PATH folders without
having to explicitly add them all to $PATH.
As always, thanks for your help,
~ Tj
