If you order for another original copy of ECA report,it will be treated as original and not a duplicate.You are fine with this.....I'm saying it simply because I have been in your scenario before where i used the 2 copies initially issued and had to order for a third copy.
Also,remember that CIC can check the validity and correctness of any ECA you sent to them by looking it with WES online facility that they both shared.
Summary.......if you ordered for another copy of your ECA,it does not deprive it of the status of originality.
You are fine......you don't need a lawyer to interpret this for you as i have personally done it....and it was successful.

Thanks kollins for your reply and please suggest after reading the below ,
My situation is as follows, i miss interpreted the document checklist where it says copies unless otherwise stated for ECA and sent a photocopy of ECA which was notarized.
Now i have to two options
1 solution/workaround ....Send just the ECA (orginal) which is with me with the UCI # i have and a cover letter explaining the situation ask for consideration of the same for the package i sent and reached Sydney 10th june.
For the above solution 1 or work around the helpful people around have commented that my first application will be opened as per the date received and if they notice the ECA report issue (" Which by the way they can look at WES online copy available specifically for them if they want to make an effort to make people feel good abt their efforts and time") then the worst case they would reject it and when they pick up the seperate package where i have sent the ECA they already have processed my package and probably sent it back to the address mentioned.
2 Solution/workaround.....Another suggestion is that i put everything back together of course by getting another original of IELTS prepare the package send it across with available original ECA report and a cover letter explain about the first application which reached on 10th may and why you are sending the whole package again.
In this above workaround i am worried about two things:
a....Application being considered duplicate and banned
b....Time taken to put things together and which might make the application chance bleak to make it into the cap.
Before doing any of the above i wanted to talk to CIC guys (So mail id , number or link or blog or post anything that would help) and also mail them and get to know what would be the best approach do they have any mechanism for the same to deal with cause it requires a lot of effort to put things together i am sure everyone has realized it.
What i was hoping is in my situation they should send me an email may be hold/return the whole application and ask me to send the original ECA with package again or just the ECA with the consideration that it has been processed earlier to be considered into another queue altogether.
Or easiest way is the ECA is notarized and they do have a copy of the ECA available online for them to view and they can ask local VO to cross check during that phase of processing.
I might be very optimistic but there should be tolerance defined for a mistake if you miss out application its different if you send a copy my mistake but have an original is another situation ( i m supporting myself ) but i guess every mistake a lesson to everybody on the forum.
So people learn and all the best and send a complete application in the first place.
I would write a long post about the DO's and Dont's and may be we can have it on the first post so that everybody can add and make it easy for people to refer inturn making life easier for others.
Thanks all, all the best and keep the effort on help others and yourself.
