i want to code a website and its administration interface in RoR.  
how do i create a controller in admin subfolder? Can these controller  
share actions from its parent folder?

You should have a look to the DEPOT application in the Heinemeier  
Book:“Agile Web D. with Rails”.

They have an app with a store part and the administration part, perhaps
