    No,

    When you build your sitemap with a program or service it will follow all your links and map the entire site, this is assuming all your pages are some how inter-linked. Please see my Google Sitempas FAQ I made for DP below...

    To use only one site map, the domain.com page must have a text link to domain.com/directory url/page.

    You also, can use two different ones but only one is really needed.

    In this case, I think you must have different Site map for each page.
