First, your descriptive naming conventions don't help in understanding
the intent of your code.
Second, what do you mean "always remain the same?" Do you mean that
every single instance of MyClass4 shares the exact same single instance
of each of those arrays?
If so, might it be worth considering factoring out the array and using a
Singleton pattern for whatever they represent?
If not, rethink your design. And your naming conventions.'

Makes me wonder why people flock to use PHP then ;-)

See my suggestion above...
