I've been involved in a project of Christopher where we used versioned services. We just created some PHP namespace with a version number for – in that case – the actual SOAP service. Within the Service namespace we used DTOs to decouple the service from the domain models.

Maybe this snapshot from the directory structure gives you some more hints:
