I have thought of a few things (since I am the combined/aggregated files advocate) and I actually think that this approach (Having multiple namespace per file like you mentionned) would work pretty well. After taking a look at this problem from another point of view, I realized that if we can manage to make the multiple namespace per file as you mentionned earlier then it would be rather trivial. I like the implementation you suggested earlier, you got +1 from me ;-) More question, just like this, when you do: <?php namespace A; require 'somefile.php'; class AX{} namespace B; class BX{ } ?> is somefile.php also included in the B namespace since you cannot include it in global scope. Next step ?
