Well, in this case I see "class repository" more in the meaning of a repository of files that use the namespace functionality, each file holds one class, each one of them bound to the file-extension ".php" > My understanding is that PHP runs straight through a script (and through > included files - inline), except when calling files with __autoload (which > is why it takes a performance hit?). No exception here when calling __autoload(); you could see _autoload() as a functionality-wrapper for include/require, adding a little bit more logic to it. Best regards Thorsten Suckow-Homberg
