Multiple pins on top of each other

Hi,


Capture will allow two pins to be on top of each other and will connect both pins in the netlist. Is it generally acceptable to do such a thing? Thisis for the following component: http://www.vishay.com/docs/30099/wsl3637.pdf

    The manufacturer describes how to wire the resistor in this document: http://www.vishay.com/docs/49581/_power_metal_strip_product_overview_vmn-pl0407-1502.pdf

    So technically the schematic symbol should be four pins as redwire stated. Were the E1 and E2 pins are used for differential kelvin connection. In my situation it is only a single ended connection so I2 and E2 should be connected to GND and I1 to RF and E1 to sense device. Or use simple 2 terminal device but this part meets my package requirements.
