Multiple ActiveRecord Associations

Hey so I know with ActiveRecord I can have associations like belongs_to, has_many and has_many through, but how would it work if I have a model that has two associations with the same second model?

For example, if I have three class models Foo, Bar, & Baz. If

class Foo
has_many :baz
has_many :bar
has_many :bar, through: :baz
end

Basically, I want my foo concept to be able to create a bar but also to have bars through baz. Can I use it the way I have it set up there (with the other associations set up to match) and if I can, am I able to call .bars on my foo object to get back ALL the bars from both associations?
