can zip directory entries share file entries?

Can the file entries and the directory entries be in any order? Must file entry 1 correspond to directory entry 1?

can the directory entries in a zip file point to the same file data as another directory entry? E.g. if a zip file contained an exactly-duplicate file, could the two entries point to the same compressed data or would the data need to be duplicated?

Would this cause problems for normal zip tools extracting files successfully, or updating an archive?

"Header Offset" in ZIPDIRENTRY points to a header, not to file data.
So you'd get things like:

Z:\@3>unzip -t PKFIXED.ZIP
Archive:  PKFIXED.ZIP
    testing: 1/                       OK
    testing: 1/print.css              OK
print.css:  mismatching "local" filename (1/print.css),
         continuing with "central" filename version
    testing: print.css                OK
At least one warning-error was detected in PKFIXED.ZIP.

Z:\@3>7z t PKFIXED.ZIP
