It's not possible to monitor same folder with more than one section? Or I'm maybe doing something wrong.

You would literally have duplicate posts since it would be processed and uploaded to multiple sections.

Yes, it's not possible because that just doesn't make much sense. It's to avoid duplicate posts (because that's bad and not needed).

But there would not be a duplicate posts. Its uploaded to different accounts and different templates are used.
To explain this with a bit more details.
You have a script that automatically downloads files from usenet, torrents etc. File gets moved to desired folder, both A and B categories and A and B templates pick up the file and process it separately.
One template is sent to autoposter and another template is sent to different folder for manual sorting. After that source file is automatically deleted. This is incredible way to save time and amount of work.
Otherwise it has to be done manually.
This would make different templates available for same file type incredibly useful. Using different templates and accounts is actually a key here cause it's uploaded to different platforms.

Improved to allow to monitor the same folder for multiple sections for next update (2.45).

But you must disable the deletion after processing in that case (in "Settings" -> "Process" -> "Files").
It's not possible to tell which status will finish faster and if the same file is still needed. With deletion enabled you will just get more errors (since it will delete the file or fail to delete while it's still being uploaded by another status).

For deletion you could setup some other script / tool and delete the files like after few hours (or more) based on "Creation date" or something like that. Or just delete not needed files manually like once a day.

Also make sure checking for duplicates across all sections is not enabled in "Settings" -> "Process" -> "General".
