I've fixed this in trunk and the 1.8 release branch, and it will update on the site with 1.8.1.

That's how plugin paths are supposed to work -- if a resource exists on multiple plugin paths, the first path scanned (which is the last registered) wins. Which is why I'd like you to log the issue report I requested above, as it is the obvious workaround -- simply specify the full class name when you want to use a specific resource class. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | matt...@zend.com Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/
