Elijah, it depends on which version of the game you're running, but the conversation with Alex where the bank heist is deactivated will automatically occur after the Allison conversation only if you've heard her first call (where she tells you about the bank; normally this happens in U Pamatniku station on your way to Překážka) and second warning (when you're inside the Church).

If you can avoid this call -- and I was able to, on an unpatched version, by leaving the tourist center and going all the way to the Dvali theater, sneaking to the basement where there is a door you can hack open that lets you jump down to the sewers and which leads to a hatch that opens into Poutníkova (Pilgrim) station, from which you can ride to Překážka and do the out-of-bounds trick to confront Allison without Alex ever getting in touch with you.

It's much more rewarding to do this than to just do one or the other. In previous Deus Ex games there has always been a way to keep everyone alive and accomplish everything, if you're just clever enough and resourceful enough. They should be letting you do that in this game too.
