I don't see where it says the directory has to be named the same as the controller? Look at the bottom of that page here: http://codeigniter.com/nightly_user_guide/general/controllers.html#organizing-your-controllers-into-sub-folders where it shows them putting a controller in a different folder (application/controllers/products/shoes.php)
