Although you could include each file directly in the .zip package and add a < file > node to the manifest for each one, using the < path > node to specify the folder path (relative to DesktopModules/YourModuleFolder/), here's an easier way if you have many files to include:

1. Create a zip folder called "resources.zip".
2. Add folders (as they would appear under DesktopModules/YourModuleFolder/) and their files to be included to resources.zip.
3. Edit your .dnn manifest file to include the following node beneath the < folder > node:

<resourcefile>resources.zip</resourcefile>

4. Add the resources.zip to the module .zip package.

As for additional dll files, since these will need to go into the site's /bin folder, I believe that you will have to manually include these in the package and add a < file > node to the manifest file for each one.

The installer knows to place any .dll file in the site's \bin folder so you do not use the <path> node:

<files>
    . . .
     <file>
         <name>Service1.dll</name>
      </file>
    . . .
</files>

Also, if you do need to place a file into some folder outside of /desktopmodules/mymodulefolder/ you can use the path node the notation of "..\..\" to backup one folder above your module folder for each ..\ . For example, the following would place the generic handler in the site's root folder.

<file>
    <path>..\..\</path>
    <name>DynamicImage.ashx</name>
</file>
