I tried that code here with PHP 4.3.11 and it works perfectly.

Which version of PHP are you using?

Are you using any PHP cache extension like APC or another?

Metabase loads the class files by the right order but it is possible
that a buggy caching extension may be causing that problem.

You may also try loading the classes as workaround right after the
includes you make in your script:

require('classes/metabase/metabase_odbc.php');
require('classes/metabase/metabase_odbc_msaccess.php');
require('classes/metabase/manager_odbc.php');
require('classes/metabase/manager_odbc_msaccess.php');
