This would mean that php-accelerators won't be able to cache the classes, 
which is a major drawback.
Another solution would be to save the 'file' you are trying to eval() to a 
'normal' .php-file (just like the temp_CACHED_-files).
Then you'd only need to write these files during installation of a new 
extension that also extends the class. You can simply point the 
['XCLASS']-variable to this merged-class-file, and all should be OK.

Grtz,
Martin
