maybe you should just set your include path / external folders for the project – in IDE’s like Eclipse this work every time and the IDE is then able to Reflect en give the correct code hints, else how is the IDE suppose to magically know where all the class files reside.

Thank you Saharian. You are absolutely right on this one. I totally overlooked already built in PHP functions.

After your comment I wrote another post on this subject. You can read it on my site http://activecodeline.com/2008/09/11/php-tricks-with-object-oriented-programming/

Another options:

* To find the class of an object use get_class($this)

* To get publicly available properties of Varien_Object use print_r($this->debug())
