Adding a child to an existing resource causes the resultant resource to
be nested under the one to which you're adding a child. For example, if
the resource you're adding a child to is named R, then, it will produce
something like:

<service ...>
 <restype name="R">
   <new_resource_here />
 </restype>
</service>

Clicking the 'add a resource to this service' button causes a new
resource to be added to the end of the service block. For example:

<service ...>
 <restype name="resource0">
   <optional_nested_resources />
 </restype>
 ...
 <restype name="resourceN" />

 <new_resource_here />
</service>
