If these two classes are in separate files then you will need to include one of the classes in with the other class using the include() or require() functions. Have you also used the extends keyword to extend the main class? When you use inheritance properties, you can use the $this-> mechanism within the classes to reference all functions of both classes. Read about inheritance of classes for more information. If you already knew the above and it doesn't help you, then just ignore it. I'm just trying to narrow down your problem. Good luck.
