It's that way so that the path of the file tells you what the class name is or vice-versa. Net/Monitor/Service/HTTP.php holds the class Net_Monitor_Service_HTTP. Similarly if you want to load the class Net_Monitor_Service_HTTP you can require_once Net/Monitor/Service/HTTP.php'. I don't understand why you're asking.
