How do I create object definitions that I can reach from within CI?

[quote author="Starovich" date="1299445535"]Thanks Wan!

Is there any best practices for where I should put my object definition classes using require_once?

I'd rather not use models (although interesting implementation!) as I want to have a clear structure for my software (ie models handle database interactions, period).[/quote]

Libraries work in the exact same way. You can put your files in application/libraries and use:

Code:

require_once APPATH.'libraries/dog.php';
$dog = new Dog();
