Well, the truth is that there's no real preprocessor in PHP. The fact that it's
impossible to use include*() or require*() in class definitions is by design, and is
very unlikely (read "guaranteed not to") to change during the life of 4.x.

This seems like an easy enough addition, and it makes building large libraries of
homologous classes MUCH easier. Of course, there is a work-around: I can inherit
numerous intermediate classes to simulate multiple inheritance, but that could
theoretically become a VERY large overhead, if you have many "base" classes to
inherit. Doing so also makes it difficult to read the resulting code.

That's how it is, and how it'll be in foreseeable future.

class foo {
function foo() {
}
require "foo_functions.php";
}

The above code returns the following parse error:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_OLD_FUNCTION' or `T_FUNCTION' or `T_VAR' or
`'}'' in foo.class.php on line 5
