For each file, you create multiple components but their Component/Source attributes will point at the same file. The file will only be included in the installer's cabinet once.

As I understand it, I have to point any component containing a file towards a named directory. But what if I need a file in several directories? Currently I am thinking about making two separate installers with a common wix library containing the files each have in common. But I would rather have a single installer and then handle the separation through features. But how do I handle multiple installationpoints for some files?
