You can mount as many things as you want on the same mount point, period.
There is nothing wrong or inconsistent about that.
However, you can only mount a particular device once, regardless of the
mount point, because otherwise things would break. NFS exports, however,
are not the same as local devices, and can be mounted many times by many
clients without problems. So there is no reason why you should be prevented
from mounting the same NFS export multiple times on the same host,
regardless of where you mount it.
