I just put in the include statements.

Actually, I don't use include - I use require_once. And if a class
depends on another class (often in my case), the require_once goes in
the requiring file.

That way the main file only needs to worry about what it needs, as each
file takes care of its own includes.

__autoload is good - but it requires extra processing over and above a
require_once, and pretty much everything has to reside in the same
directory.
