I know of this problem too, I actually started working on a proposal for an autoloader that would "play nice" with other autoloaders.
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Loader_Autoloader+-+Ralph +Schindler In short, it would allow you to register a namepsace "prefix" that would only trigger a set of autoloaders and it allows you to manage the order the autoloaders are executed in. Not complete, but I think in the proposal you can see which direction it was going in. -ralph On 12/2/08 11:32 AM, "Jack Sleight" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Till, > Yeah, I should probably write some more details about the script, will > do a blog post when I get a chance.
