You should just try it instead of imagine it. There are two types of
tabs if no Dual Pane mode is used - visible and hidden. When second pane
added then there is third type of tab - selected, it has another coloring
(GTK styles in use, yep). Tab titles always show active folder name, that
is obvious. Tab titles are on buttons, pressing them activates or unhides
corresponding view pane.

If each tab is divided and divided differently it will create a whole
mess and confusion for users. In that case there it is better to create a
separate window for each group of views. Yes, it's what Konqueror does.
And use separate tabs in each view is also bad solution, you lose the
access to some tab from within another view. No hierarchy should be ever
involved, ever normal users will be confused, but users with some kind of
disability will be just unavailable to do anything with that chaos. File
manager should stay the same in both cases - one view is in window or two
of them. And tabs are global for a window - each tab button represents a
single given folder view. Therefore three types of tabs: active, hidden,
and inactive (on opposite pane). If you don't like that then use another,
non-tabbed file manager. Or change your habits a bit.
With best regards.
