If you put .htaccess in one directory, that specific directory and all its children, receive same policy. That means, if you put in any children directory another .htaccess file, it can modify any previously defined policy, same as its parent .htaccess.

Add "Satisfy Any" to the child .htaccess 

Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Satisfy any

See apache "Satisfy" docs, it SHOULD work, as this is only solution.
