To me it doesn't, I'd rather think of it this way: Emma is one person, she has different aspects, being the savior, being a Dark One, these are just aspects of Emma. Some aspects are just stronger and then others, for instance the darkness. The darkness does everything it can to change and to darkness Emma, that's why she is evil now. But it is still Emma, because Nimue was the first DO (of which I am strongly convinced), doesn't mean that she who has been possessed by the same darkness Emma has been possessed by is inside Emma, which causes Emma to love the ones the previous DO's loved. I don't think that the previous DO's are inside Emma, just their own darkness, plus the darkness.
