As you've seen, that doesn't work with svn:externals.

One idea is to create IO/File/ and IO/Stream/ as separate projects, and
keep IO/*.php in trunk/lib. Or move IO/File.php into IO/File, so that
checking out IO/File will check that out as well.

Another is to have IO_File/ and IO_Stream/ under lib/ and check in
symlinks like lib/libIO_File.so and lib/libIO_Stream.so. Or put IO_File/
and IO_Stream in a totally different place and have only
files, which are mostly symlinks under lib.

While vendor branches are a lot more complicated than you seem to need,
it might be worth a read:
