Easier access to objects ($this->object instead of $this->CI->object)

The initialize() function needs to be __construct() - there's nothing that will automatically call initialize(). Other than that, it's a good trick - I've used similar styles, but I don't like autoloading default libraries like that, so I just did an __autoload() instead.

NeoArc, you could create an __autoload() with appropriate code to check for all locations for the requested class, but overall CodeIgniter isn't built to work that way. Maybe you'd prefer a different framework.
