You cannot define two collections referring to the same collection name (as you have seen).

You can have multiple subscriptions to a collection, each of which return different views, however the resulting client-side collection will be the merged set of publications.

You should read the Meteor Guide on Publications and Data Loading to get a better understanding around how Meteor pub/sub works :slight_smile:
