I believe it does not make any difference for supply, but for 
reinforcements there is a clause specifying that the supply chain must 
start within the home nation, 5.2.2.2.3.1.  So I would read that as saying 
that a fleet in Naples would provide a reinforcement connection for Naples' 
reinforcements, but not for England's.
