Autoloading of configs in cascade

There's no solution for that exact situation at the moment. The simplest thing to do would be to make an empty class for each config file in the main application. Since config files are classes now they can extend the config files in the Common folder. If you need to add or modify things in the application config file, you can overwrite in that class file and it should all work just fine.

The other option is to create your own version of the config() function that handles that for you.
