[users@httpd] password protected dir with unprotected subdir

I've set up one directory to be password protected.

Alias /work "/work1/"
<Directory "/work1">
	Options Indexes MultiViews
	AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/htpasswords
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Work1"
        require user strycat
	Allow from all
</Directory>

This is great and works like it should

Now I want another alias to point to the /work1/open subdir and to be
unprotected.

Alias /demo "/work1/open/"
<Directory "/work1/open">
	Options Indexes MultiViews
	AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
</Directory>

As I feared the first directory (/work1)  kicks in and requires a
user.  Is there something I can do to unprotect just that one subdir
or will I need to move it?

Thanks in advance.
