Android support for multiple devices and screens

I have created the following layouts to support multiple devices and screens:

layout-normal
layout-normal-land
layout-sw240dp
layout-sw240dp-land
layout-sw320dp
layout-sw320dp-land

and included the following in manifest

<supports-screens
    android:smallScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:largeScreens="true"
    android:anyDensity="true" />

I have also created a AVD with ICS 4.0.3 skin WVGA800,LCD density 240..etc

When i run my app on the emulator i have observed that it loads some resources from layout-sw240dp and some from layout-sw320dp

I confirmed it by changing some text in the XML files of these directories.

My question is for the same device config why should it load resources from different layout directories?.

I could not find any info regarding this problem in android Multiple screens support documentation.
