File 1.php
<?php
class Test {
    var $text;
    function Test ($_text) {
        $this->text = $_text;
    }

    require_once ('2.inc');
}

$a = new Test ("ABC");
$a->output();
?>

File 2.inc
<?php
    function output () {
        print $this->text;
    }
?>

It will produce following error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_REQUIRE_ONCE, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /usr/local/apache/root/php/test/1.php on line 8

Hello,

We are using PHP in our projects. It would be nice to split some of our class definitions on several files.

It seems a syntax problem for now (include / include_once / require / require_once are not allowed inside class definition).

Could you please provide solution for the problem?

Thanks,
Boris

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Technically it may not be a bug... however this functionality greatly decreases the ability for developers to oganize class methods neatly and efficiently. How does one go about reporting a "functionality bug?"
