[TYPO3-dev] Using Hooks in own classes

[dan frost]

How big is your class.

For a really "hook-able" architecture, the nicest 
way is:

1. very small classes,
2. use ::makeInstance (or similar wrapper) to look 
up over-ridden classes

Can you post the structue of your class (methods + 
properties)?
