Correct me if I'm wrong but, unless I have a common folder for my class files, such as "/classes/", an autoloader has nothing to do with solving my problem. I get the impression that there might not be another way of solving the problem too, sadly. I need to force my users to put all their class files in a single directory. And it's rather messy..
