+ <li>The classes have to be located in a subdirectory of <code>includes/</code>.</li>
+ <li>Classnames to be prefixed with <code>phpbb_</code> to avoid name clashes, the filename should not contain the prefix.</li>
+ <li>Class names have to reflect the location of the file they are defined in. The longest list of prefixes, separated by underscores, which is a valid path must be the directory in which the file is located. So the directory names must not contain any underscores, but the filename may. If the filename would be empty the last directory name is used for the filename as well.</li>
