Examples cannot explain, they can only demonstrate a subset of the logic. There are an infinite number of negative cases, where a given behavior does *not* apply; there's no way for an example to show all of the infinite negative cases! Indeed, your own example demonstrates one of the negative case for directory search, where the vpath logic does *not* apply. How can we provide 'an' example to illustrate all the infinite cases where the vpath logic doesn't apply? I tell you that your example is behaving correctly, operating as the info pages specify it should. Why should the vpath for one target (preq1) apply to a different target (di2/preq2)? You apparently think that it should, but because you don't say *WHY* you believe that, I cannot identify the bad step in your path to that incorrect conclusion.
