Will it be able to distinguish if the package is one directory down?
Like this:

Other code:
    // Files...
package 1: // I want to import package 2 here.
    somefile.java
    package 2:
        classes.class

There isn't such thing as nested packages like you've shown. Packages are all independent of each other. Here's an explanation of hierarchy stackoverflow.com/questions/265092...

But, can a package be in a directory below the current package?
If not, where would the packages have to be, and how would I enforce this on to the computer of the user that uses my program?

Sorry is been a while since I last program in Java memory is a bit blurry. According to SO you can't have nested packages, but I just tried and I was able to create a package inside a package. So what you're trying to do is doable.
