Typically, when I generate a file for an addon, it adds files to both the `addon` and `app` directories. In turn, `requirejs.entries` contains references to both the addon’s original file and the version consumed by the app itself. For instance, if I had generated a Foo component, `requirejs.entries` would have both:

```auto
my-addon/components/foo
my-app/components/foo

```

Now let’s say that I want a directory to contain classes that don’t fit neatly into what Ember already offers (components, services, models, etc). Let’s call the directory `bazs`, and give it a Foo of it’s own. Next, we’ll go into the `apps` directory and create a `bazs` folder there, then create a `foo.js` which imports the addon’s `bazs/foo` and re-exports it.

After all this, I would expect `requirejs.entries` to have a reference to `bazs/foo` in both the addon and app, but instead it only appears:

```auto
my-addon/bazs/foo

```

I haven’t worked very intimately with the resolver (I’m assuming this is the resolver’s responsibility), and so I’m not sure why this is happening. Anybody have insights? And if I wanted the app to also have reference to `bazs`, anybody know of a way to make that happen?
