Re: Identical controller names

It would not really affect it in a good way. :D
Cake is convention based and this will be your first drawback.
Moreover how did you plan on naming the files with the same name?
It is possible on Unix/Linux systems but it is a bad practice - very bad. :)
If they serve similar functionality they are most probably just different user roles? :D
You could have different controllers for them, like: Users and Managers.
This is really an abstract OOP decision but in the context of Cake it'd not do much good.

I thought better of the idea. Seems pointless to have identical names when there are so many others to choose from :) I suppose I was more curious about how it would effect the app moreso than actually creating the controllers. 

Thanks for the reply :)

Without namespaces, I think you might end up with a class name clash, since you would have two UsersController classes trying to occupy the global name space.

Would it be considered bad practice to have two identical controller names? For example I was wondering about having a 'UsersController'  to keep my logic separate from 'UsersController' in one of my plugins, or would it be best to just name one or the other differently? I can foresee one or two "issues" going this route but am I missing a bigger picture?
