svn:externals and shared projects

A quick question about using svn:externals and multiple libraries

Lets say I have project A, library B and Library C. These are all separate
folders in a repository, with the usual layout. There is a need for B and C
to be different projects, project D also uses B and C, and project F uses C
too.

In this case, Project A uses library B and Library C. Library B also uses
Library C.

If I use svn:externals to connect B and C to A and C to B, I think I would
get the following folder structure in the sandbox.

Project A
    docs
    src
    library B | folder pulled in because of svn:externals mapping B to A
       docs
       src
       Library C | folder pulled in because of svn:externals mapping C to B
           docs
           src
    Library C | folder pulled in because of svn:externals mapping C to A
        docs
        src

i.e There are two copies of Library C in the sandbox.
