seems to me like you 'on the money'.
I just wanted to add that IMHO use of __autoload() is over rated (too
much magic is not alway a good thing) in the general case, i.e. use it
for specific types of classes like dataobject classes that are generated
on the fly - but don't use it as a catchall handler
If you are using Exception classes and other 'framework' type classes
then I would suggest that a set of require_once statements in a global
file will:
a, suffice
b, make things more managable (i.e. includes are explicit)
if there is a speed issue with not using __autoload() then it might
still be worth only implementing __autoload() for general/all cases if:
a, sqeezing out a few microseconds is _really_ needed
b, your client (if you have one!) is willing to compensate you for the
countless hours of code profiling and speedmeasuring required to
increase speed thru optimization ;-)
