Hi!
The result is "Fatal error: Class 'C' not found". Is this result expected?Yes. Define your classes before using them, or use autoloading.
Why?(Highly technical details) Because C can't be early-bound on compile time due to the dependency on the interface and thus at the time of the call it's not defined, because the definition happens at run-time when control arrives to the point of class definition. Since early binding is quite complex, it is best to assume classes always are defined at run-time and define them before use. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
