Hello, still one question more on this topic: why not throw an exception then, like: if (!class_exists(Class_Name)) { class Class_Name { 
    // class def goes here
} } else { throw new Exception ("fatal error caught, redefining classname ... in ".__FILE__); }
Because PHP already does this by throwing a fatal error. Why reinvent the wheel?
Well he seems to want an Exception, which is catchable. However instead of writing code to catch he should just do a class_exists() check before doing the require. regards, Lukas
