However, there’s a catch. Nesting the files causes the file names to be overwritten. In this case, the .hbm.xml suffix gets dropped. That effectively prevents Configuration.AddAssembly() from finding the mapping information. A way around this pitfall is defining the dependency as follows:

<EmbeddedResource include="ServiceRequest.hbm.xml">
<DependentUpon>ServiceRequest.cs</DependentUpon>
<LogicalName>ServiceRequest.hbm.xml</LogicalName>
</EmbeddedResource>

Thanks go to Sami for cracking this nut with me.
