That will probably work, but I wouldn't recommend having two names for
the same attribute unless you have very special circumstances.  It would
be better in my opinion to just use cn and avoid confusion, i.e.,
declare your object class like this:

objectclass service
        requires
                objectClass,
                cn
         ...
