Sure,

  The file set like this:

semantic.el
semantic-lex.el
semantic-analyze.el
semantic-analyze-debug.el
semantic-analyze-fcn.el
semantic-analyze-refs.el

would end up as:

semantic.el
semantic/lex.el
semantic/analyze.el
semantic/analyze/debug.el
semantic/analyze/fcn.el
semantic/analyze/refs.el

which would show up in requires as:

(require 'semantic)
(require 'semantic/lex)
(require 'semantic/analyze)
(require 'semantic/analyze/debug.el)
(require 'semantic/analyze/fcn)
(require 'semantic/analyze/refs)

but this code would not work:

(require 'lex)
(require 'fcn)

because those other directories would not be on the path.
