Otherwise, I'm curious as to why you're using a large switch, not that it's bad inherently IMHO, but there may be a better overall approach.

I don't know why *he* wants to do it, but one useful example is the MVC model (google "MVC phppatterns" if you're unfamiliar with the term). For a given action he can include the class definitions he will need to perform that action.
Jay, are you using PHP5? Because if you are then I thought of something else. You can put each class into its own file and define your own __autoload() function to include a file "just in time". The main downside to this is if you use someone else's code and they have also defined their own __autoload() function then you get an error! :(
