scope of resources
I've been working with android for about 6 months now and I've yet to come across an answer to this so I will ask it here.  What is the scope of android layout resources?  Are all android resources placed into a global name space?  If so should I be creating unique names for resource across all of my layouts?  

I have a large app with many activities and layouts and I like to reuse names for simplicity, my layouts for example have a common name that is familiar to me and I don't have to refer back to the layout.  

I know that setContentView() associates the layout with the activity, however, findViewById() seems to show all resources in the package.  I don't know if this is just an eclipse 'feature' that I can not worry about or if I should be using unique names for all of my resources??
