my notion about get_class() was just to use it (and/or it's brother __CLASS__ ) to determine what your current scope is. in fact, it's just what you said above about extending a base class. using get_class() and/or __CLASS__ was my suggestion to get more info from PHP about where the code should be executing. that said, i haven't done it myself, so it is just theory.

i came upon a similiar problem in PHP4 trying to implement the recently released Active Record class.
