i reckon it does, even if it takes "reserved" space. And 
anyway it takes time to be readed

I don't miss this point, I was saying a different thing : 
this same inode is listed under as many directories as the 
hardlinks

yes to be able to cross FS boundaries

lets put it from start.

Long time ago in a distant galaxy, there was a file system 
structure very deeply nested and complex, but much static in 
its general shape and very well known and familiar to its owner

The contents changed here and there.
This wierd owner desired two different and contradictory 
goals : to have phisical copies of the updates versions 
(distinct files) while at the same time sharing one single 
copy of the folder structure (or a "super-set" when some 
change to it occurred), as in crawling in the tree he 
seldomly required search.
to be continued...
