This should work: > > namespace Nette\Loaders; > > class AutoLoader extends \Nette\Object > {} Hi, The resolution rules have changed in that way. The reason was an inconsistency: <?php // Autoload extends Sub\Object class Autoloader extends Sub\Object {} // Another extends Object class Another extends Object {} ?> versus this code: <?php namespace Nette; // Nette\Autoload extends Sub\Object class Autoloader extends Sub\Object {} // Nette\Another extends Nette\Object class Another extends Object {} ?> The problem was that it isn't immediately clear why we would consider "Sub\Object" to be the same as "\Sub\Object", but "Object" to be different from "\Object" inside a namespace context, but the same outside a namespace context. This is an important thing for developers of namespaced code to realize. The docs have been updated in my personal checkout of php-doc, and I am revising them to make them clearer, and also waiting on a few other details to make it into CVS before committing. Thanks, Greg
