They don't have the same key. What you specify in the source code is just  
a default. If you declare the component with a name, this will be it's  
name, not the one specified in the code (xinfo). The same goes for  
dependencies:

<component name="c3" class="MyService"/>
<component name="c4" class="MyService"/>
<component name="c2" class="MyComponent">
   <dependencies>
     <dependency key="dep1" source="c3"/>
     <dependency key="dep2" source="c4"/>
   </dependencies>
</component>

Now, c2 will find c3 as dep1 and c4 as dep2 in the ServiceManager,  
regardless of what name you specified in the source code of MyService.
