I'd make the following recommendations: * Have a tree with just Zend/Exception.php, Zend/Loader.php, and the Zend/Loader/ subtree. Stick that on your include_path. This should be from 1.10.0 or later. * Then, in your index.php, setup autoloading and the ZF version. This will ensure that Zend_Application comes from the version you've selected, and should prevent any issues. * Optimally, on all versions of ZF, strip the require_once calls, per the performance appendix. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | matt...@zend.com Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/ PGP key: http://framework.zend.com/zf-matthew-pgp-key.asc
