Ideally you want each charging source (alternator, converter, charge controller) to have separate cables. If you connect charge controller to converter then both the converter and charge controller will be fooled as to the correct battery voltage. The converter may not go into boost or the charge controller may go unnecessarily into absorption or float mode. It depends on the magnitude of the cable line drop.

May effect different controllers differently also. No effect on my Morningstar as it will hold absorption for the programmed time.
Not sure in all practical use this would be a big deal anyway.
