It's really largely a matter of convention ... in OpenStep only one 
instance of an application is intended to run at any one time, and any 
request to open a document 'owned' by a particular application is 
forwarded to that application.

If you run multiple copies of an app, the first copy is the one which 
will be used to open documents  and to provide services to other 
applications.
