X.org accepts duplicate entries in xorg.conf : that leads to misc bugs ...

Description
I am used to have the server layout paragraph at the end ox XF86config, so that when i did not saw any at the end of xorg.conf, I added one.
In fact, xorg only considered the first one at the top, and any changes in the second one were innefficient.
I think that it would help many ppl ( especially newbies) if x.org produced a significant error ( why not a fatal one ? as long as it says where is the double declaration) when there are duplicate entries ( with same title and name) ( like when compiling C code with double declaration of a variable with same cast)
