No, that's not a problem. The monitor doesn't just load modules from 
modules.properties and use them, it selects the module implementation that is 
suitable for the given environment by:

  - seeing what the current JDK level is and if a module implementation 
supports it
  - seeing what classes a module implementation requires and if they exist
  - if the module implements ModuleSupportable and if so asking the module if 
it can support the current environment.

As an example, modules.properties today contains three JDBC implementations, 
JSR169, JDBC 3 and JDBC 4, having multiple exist is not an issue, the monitor 
selects the correct one.

> My aim is to create a pluggable storage engine architecture for Derby, so 
> that the default store implementation can be replaced with alternative
