With a class you can inherit all of the base class functionality
into a new customer type. You do not have to break open the base
class to add a case, you just have to create an extension class.
Documentation is unique to each class.
No matter what, you have to break something open to add code -- if
nothing else, the script.

The base class would (should?) be contained in its own script space.
For instance you might have the customer class in a file called
class.customer.php. You do not have to open this script to add
another class or extend this class, you would just add another file
like class.customerCommercial.php that extends the customer class.
Since autoload is available now (http://www.php.net/autoload) you
would not even have to open the 'calling' script to add an include
line.
I understand the class concept. But, I am not familiar with autoload.
Stut also made mention of that, so I shall investigate post haste.
