如果需要/包含多个文件，它们是否都是同一命名空间的一部分？

Question

I am brand-spanking-new to the namespace concept in php.

The situation: Multiple files in a folder and they all require/include one another for their own purposes.

If i were to place them all in the same namespace, would it still be necessary to have them require/include each other?

I did think of replacing the require/include with "use", but it seems odd to have a file in namespace foo\bar to actually 'use' foo\bar... o_O

PS: I am covering all my bases by asking questions while also searching the net for answers; so if you have any good sources for info/tutorials etc please feel free to share. :D

Thank you, David

It can get messy with all the includes/requires. The included files on one included file, will be also included on the first one as well, with out explicitly calling it. I would suggest, if you are using OOP approach, start out using the __autoload() magic method. This will save you tons of headaches down the road when you include a file on a page that's already been included elsewhere running on that page and you get a 500 server error because of it.
