Not at all. Names in the **Structure** are just helpful hints and not needed to be unique. The assembly would indeed have full hierarchy. Users will be using the assembly to set color and other parameters in the **Multiblock Inspector** or in filters like [Extract Block](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/tree-widgets-and-check-state/4146/16); so there won’t be any ambiguity.
