it would be nice to have the possibility to create classes with variable or constants in 'classname' and 'extends'.

eg:
define $myauth="myAuth";
define ("_BASE_AUTH_CLASS", "Base_Auth");

class {$myauth} extends {_BASE_AUTH_CLASS}
  {...
etc

This way package delivery and integration would be a lot easier, as they can presume the existance of already defined classes, and adopt them.

Good architecting of the application and you will never run into such problems. Look into PEAR to see how they solved this or just prepend you class names with something specific to you (or your company).
