Answer 1

You may be able to use the autoload function.

function __autoload($class_name) {
    include "special_directory/" .$class_name . '.php';
}

And you can echo $class_name. But that requires a directory with a single file.

But it is standard practice to have one class in each file in PHP. So Main.class.php will contain Main class. You may able to use that standard if you are the one coding.
