Off the top of my head, so no guarantees given ...
You could do it if you were prepared to pass (or write a program to pass)
public directory properties on the command line. Something like this:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="ApplicationX">
<Directory Id="LEVEL1" Name="SomeSubDir">
<Directory Id="LEVEL2" Name="MmmmSubs">
And then pass the same directory path in the INSTALLDIR, LEVEL1 and LEVEL2
properties.
You'd have to be careful you don't have the same components or resources
occurring at multiple levels or you'd get files overwriting each other and
uninstall problems.

Subject: [WiX-users] Install Directory Structures
Hi,
I was wondering if there were techniques, methods for accommodating both
single-level and multi-level install directory structures using the same set
of Wix XML source files?
If I'm not mistaken, the directory structure is currently reflected directly
in the XML code. Example:
<Directory Id="CompanyInstallDir" Name="MyCompany" ... >
<Directory Id="ProductInstallDir" Name= "MyProduct" ...>
<!-- features, components, etc... -->
</Directory>
</Directory>
Thanks,
Eric.
