Well I don't have any specific example available just over the top of my head.  
But from what I know about Cabal file format , it should be quite trivial to 
create a package that has 1 library and more than 1 executable sections.  
Though I haven't come across any .cabal file with more than 1 library 
sections (and a single library section is almost always sufficient), the 
Cabal documentation does not state clearly if more than 1 library sections 
could be present or not (I just checked, though I haven't experimentally 
verified this).
