Personally, my modules are PHP objects which must implement some particular
plugin interface which is defined by the CMS. (There are several different
interfaces depending on what the plugin is supposed to do, but I'm going
to describe the "panel" interface, which allows a plugin to add a piece of
content, including a title, to the page.)

object SomePanel
{
public function get_title()
{
// ...
}

public function get_body()
{
// ...
}
}

At the start, the CMS will create a SomePanel object:

require 'plugins/SomePanel.php';
$obj = new SomePanel;

Then when it needs to find the panel's title:

$title = $obj->get_title();

and when it needs to output the panel's body:

echo $obj->get_body();
