Marcus recently added autoload stuff to SPL. I didn't test it, yet. But for
what i have seen he ads an stack of autoload functions where you can
register your own function with spl_autoload_register() there you should
also be able to enter some method (in array($object, 'method') oder
array('class', 'method') syntax. The functions in this stack are called one
after the other.
Additionally he adds an standard autoload function which searchs for a file
$class.$extension in the includepath where $extension is by default inc
or .inc.php where you can register your own extension using
spl_autoload_extensions()
Everything mainly from looking at the implementation and by taking a look at
Marcus' tests located at ext/spl/tests/spl_autoload_001.phpt and
spl_autoload_002.phpt hope someone corrects my failures ;-)
