CodeIgniter—Best Controller Naming Protocol?

Question

I've been working with CodeIgniter and I'm wondering if the way I'm setting up my controllers is not correct.

I'm trying to incorporate an admin section of my site using the method 2 found on Phil Sturgeon's blog.

If I also needed a controller to handle products and users in my front-end, could I name them products.php and users.php or would they cause conflicts?

Thank you for your help!

You can use same controller name for both side (backend and frontend) within two different folders, i.e.

admin/users.php 
front/users.php

But you can also use a prefix for readability or to avoid confusions, like

admin/adm_users.php // read as admin users.php
front/frn_users.php // read as frontend users.php

how does this affect urls, because mysite.com/index.php/frn_users/ looks a bit silly?
