This is a really cool article that talks about the architecture of Drupal, and explains some reasons on why it was written in with virtually no classes. All programming geeks should read this right now!

They're right about it being better to do "selective including" in PHP instead of including everything all the time
However I remmeber reading that with PHP5 you can tell it (somehow) that a class by some name is found in some file, and that PHP will do the includes automatically only after you've tried to access the file.

That is both neat and supposedly fast =P
