[quote author="BrianDHall" date="1253161622"]I think your code is actually quite excellent - it is so intuitive that I really thought that was how CI worked to begin with - that is, that it would automatically try to get the definition for the class being extended. I guess this is a limitation with PHP4 compatability, but I don't know OOP well enough to say.[/quote]
__autoload function doesn't exist in PHP4, so they don't have it in CI.
