This is the major flaw with that solution. Personally I just looked at working code that had (:::) and (\) which is the second option I also mentioned already long ago. And (:::) can be read very easy. The visual difference to (::) is big enough. However it is too easy to either type two or four. Thus the backslash (the only other conflict free) character is probably the better option - even though no one has done something like that. Btw, it pretty much suggests thatyou use the same structure for your directories and files. Which you'd do inside __autoload() most likely anyway. Best regards, Marcus
