From a WP point of view, there is no difference between a primary and secondary resource insofar as they are all resources on the Web. I would actually turn things around: _all_ the resources that we are talking about are part of the Web in the first place, they are nothing special; what WP means is a conceptual step _on top_ of all those resources to group them together to form a single conceptual entity. To give some extra structure to those resources, so to say, without changing any of those resources in any significant manner. (The only change that might occur is the addition of some metadata.)

For PWP the situation is a little bit more complex because the package may be 'elsewhere', ie, not on the Web but, if we regard (which I think is the case) a PWP some sort of a frozen version of a WP through some packaging, then the internal structure of a PWP would 100% reflect its 'exploded' WP ancestry. 

Bottom line: I do not see the problem. But that may only be me.
