Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Classes with interfaces or traits (or which extend other classes defined after them) need to be always defined before there usage. That's the result of some optimizations; do not rely on that. Always just put classes before the code where they're used or use an autoloader.
