Hi,

The "use" construct won't be supported in PHP 4. It was introduced for PEAR
and still hasn't been finalized.
You should really be using require_once() (or include_once()) with the file
extension.
In any case, note that require_once() and include_once() work differently
(one at compile-time the other at run-time) so make sure that you are
consistent with their uses. If you use require_once() in one place all
places need to use require_once().
