Be sure that you have included the class definitions *before* you
attempt to unserialize an object, or you may have some problems.

I haven't tried serializing objects in php, but I was just thinking that
in php5 because of the pass by reference default nature, you may have
difficulty with it if you aren't using the clone keyword...
