Maybe it's just me, but the core concept of __autoload() seems to be broken to me. Moreover, every proposed solution I've heard about is totally inside the box. I would do it like this:
1) Define $_AUTOLOAD superglobal.
2) If I need SomeClass to be autoloaded I write this:
$_AUTOLOAD['SomeClass'] = 'some/dir/some_classs.php';
3) If I care, I could check whether $_AUTOLOAD['SomeClass'] is already set and generate an error.

This would mimic Java behaviour (it's about competing with Java, is it?) without creating artificial headache for programmers. But wait! What do I know? This will cbreak BC; moreover, BC will be broken by this. Forget I said something.
