I believe the shape_id + sequence number is what has to be/should be unique.

Each "shape" (line) has a unique ID but there will be N shape records defining the line.

The trips.txt record "points" to the line to be used to represent the trip.

My impression is that the lat/long in stops.txt records need to be close to the associated shapes - if they aren't GT reverts to its stop- to-stop direct line drawing. I think another post stated they need to be within 30' - not sure.
