Al, if you've not yet seen the same response from others, the short 
answer is "No".

There are all kinds of books and articles out there now (why not look 
into some of those?) that lay out the relationship of your direct OS 
9.2.2 installed files, the means by which they can be accessed when 
you are running OS X (this means of access is known as "Classic", not 
a set of separate files at all but only a *process* by which OS X can 
make use of some of them), and your directly installed OS X files.

Seen in another way, "Classic" serves as a sort of "translation" for 
OS X of your OS 9 files. I hope that you can see that, if anything, 
it is OS X that is affected (very, very loosely put) and not the 
other way around.
