Please ensure that the class definition "MyClass_defined" of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ unserialize() gets called or provide a __autoload() function to load the class definition in /MyWebSite.com/Default.php on line 16

In the example you posted, you should be OK if you just switch the
