Folders have the uuidstructure tag only
Resources (files) have both uuidstructure and uuidresource

I'm used to remove all uuid tags completely.
(This is because once I have removed one... I then have another 
exception on another resource/folder etc)

Based on my experience the answer is: yes they do.
Based on the theory* they shouldn't infect.

*id's in OpenCms are randomly calculated starting from the MAC address 
of the server.
So I think same resource/tree in different VFSs should have different uuid!
