Loading two DLLs

Question

I have two questions corresponding to DLL's

1) Can same Dll be loaded twice by a process (from two different location in file hierarchy)?

2) Can two different DLL's with same name be loaded bya process ?

Answer 1

Ain't gonna be generic, but on Windows the answer for both is yes. Windows considers different paths as containing different dlls. It doesn't matter if their names or contents overlap.
