namespace helpers

I have two people_controller and people_helper. One in the controller and helper directory and the other in the controller/admin and helper/ admin namespace. The reason I have two controllers is because I want different views and functionality based on wether the user is an admin or not. I know how to distinguish calling the controllers, but I don't know how to distinguish the helpers. To include the people helper I use;

helper :people

How do I include the helper in the admin directory?

By the way, is there a difference between;

helper :people

and

include PeopleHelper

??

but I don't know how to distinguish the helpers. To include the people helper I use;

helper :people How do I include the helper in the admin directory?
