seems to me like you 'on the money'.

I just wanted to add that IMHO use of __autoload() is over rated (too much magic is not alway a good thing) in the general case, i.e. use it for specific types of classes like dataobject classes that are generated on the fly - but don't use it as a catchall handler


__autoload() *is* a bit quirky.  And I agree its not a catchall handler.
So far its not too bad, but I'll see as time progresses.


If you are using Exception classes and other 'framework' type classes then I would suggest that a set of require_once statements in a global file will:


a, suffice
b, make things more managable (i.e. includes are explicit)

if there is a speed issue with not using __autoload() then it might still be worth only implementing __autoload() for general/all cases if:

a, sqeezing out a few microseconds is _really_ needed
b, your client (if you have one!) is willing to compensate you for the countless hours of code profiling and speedmeasuring required to increase speed thru optimization ;-)
