Huh?!? What do you mean "source"? You mean you wish to have one file
in multiple "locations" in the CVS tree? If so, have a look at the
CVS modules file. Also, (although not really recommended) a symlink
within the repository may do what you wish, but there are quite a number
of caveats with doing that...

Now I'm very confused. What do you mean "make a copy of the original"?
What original? I think you do not understand the concept of CVS and how
it uses its repositories. The "working" code is pretty much always a
copy of something in the repo.

Please read the CVS documentation. I really can't make heads, nor tails
of the above diagram. The description you give does not help much either.
