Duplicate Directory sections in Apache HTTPD configuration

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

I have two <Directory> sections for the same directory in my Apache HTTPD configuration and it seems like only the lowest one in the file is being used.

<Directory "/var/www/html/test">
  Order allow, deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/html/test">
   Order deny, allow
   Deny from all
</Directory>
