Comment (by afragen):

 Am I correct in assuming this is about nested plugins?

 The main plugin file must be at the root level of the containing folder
 and there can only be one main plugin file.

 > To avoid this issue, included plugin dependencies should be included a
 level deeper than the wrapper plugin's root. For example:
 >
 > Wrong: hello-pro/hello/hello.php
 > Correct: hello-pro/lib/hello/hello.php

 Both of the above are incorrect.

 `wp-content/plugins/hello-pro/hello.php` is the only correct answer.
