No. Though it would be if the "dap" serviceName element were enclosed in
an inherited metadata element, like this
<metadata inherited='true'><serviceName>dap</serviceName></metadata>

No. Not even if the "dap" serviceName was inherited, because the
"otherService" association overrides any inherited association.

Yes, it is.
