Same file and directory names with MultiViews in Apache

[Windows XP, PHP5, Apache 2]

Is there a way so you can have a file and a directory of the same name, both in the same directory, and still use MultiViews and reference files without using extensions?

For example, a file foo.php and a directory foo/ are in the same location. I would like to be able to use something like, <a href="foo">test</a> to show foo.php, not foo/ the directory (which is what it does now). Is there a way to make Apache look for a file before a directory, so am I just going to have to make them different names? Thank you very much in advance!
