All supported versions of TYPO3 CMS support the use of the autoloader 
feature. For your own classes use the ext_autoload.php and simply do not 
use and include/require(_once) for core classes.

For 6.x you can/should use the namespaced names of core classes. If you 
have XCLASSes use the new method.
