How to deal with autoloading in test with fixtures?

[nikophil]

Hi!

In some custom rules, I need to make few decisions based on the current parent class or few things like that, by using is_a() or by calling static methods on the class being modified, when it implements an interface with this given static method.

Everything works like a charm, except when it comes to test my rules. I need the classes which are present in the .php.inc files to be autoloaded.

Currently the only (poor) solution I've found is to create a "mirror" class, with same namespace, name, extends... than the one being tested through the .php.inc files.

This solution is far from ideal. How do you deal with such cases?

thanks a lot for your answer!
