Sorry, duplicate classnames are not allowed by PHP. Cake is not failing hard with a fatal error in your case because it caches the classname location for future uses, so the first one accessed wins. If you had multiple classes with the same name PHP would throw a fatal error if both classes get opened.
My suggestion is to rename the class in the plugin to make it unique, prepending a small word to the name should do it. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
