Using custom library classes in a Hook

[eluser]sherbo[/eluser]
Hey All,

I'm using a hook class that has 3

Code:

require_once

statements referring to custom classes in the "libraries" directory.

Several custom classes in the "libraries" directory also have

Code:

require_once

statements referring to other custom classes.

When I call

Code:

get_declared_classes()

, I see that

Code:

CI_Hooks

is called, followed by various CI classes, followed by a stack of classes specified in the hook class'

Code:

require_once

dependency chain.

When I try to access another custom class, it tells me [b]Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class .... [/b]

Is it possible to use require_once statements in a hook class to refer to library classes?

I can't simply use

Code:

CI load->library(className)

. My code need to be more flexible.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,
Sherbo
