Stefan,
Thanks for the response but:
1. It should not matter wether I use
function get() {
...
}

or
function get()
{
...
}

Multiple references mix the two styles as in C++.

2. The classes should not have to be declared in a separate file.
This is typical in large projects, but again as in C++ the class can be
declared before the main() code unless PHP is very different than
any other programming metaphor that I can find.

So I am still looking for an answer.

Thanks again,

Bob
