Hi William,
According to my experience - yes, mapped objects can be moved around within the NameMapping tree and this moving does not change the structure of the Aliases tree.
Considering the above fact, it is my opinion that NameMapping must not be used in the test code but Aliases must be used instead. In this case NameMapping appears to be a translation table to map Aliases tree structure to the physical UI layout and in case UI is changed, only NameMapping (i.e. - translation table) must be corrected to restore test code.
P.S. As usual - backup of NameMapping file before significant corrections is a good idea :)
