Good thought. Write some die/vardump function and step through your  
code with "mydie(get_defined_classes());".

Where mydie could look like:

if ( !function_exists ( "mydie" ) ) {

	function mydie (  ) { $this_file = __FILE__ ; $this_line = __LINE__ ;
	
		$buffer = array (  ) ;
		$trace_calls = "" ;

		ob_start (  ) ;
		debug_print_backtrace (  ) ;
		$buffer[ "0" ] = ob_get_contents (  ) ;
		ob_end_clean (  ) ;

		ksort ( $buffer[ "0" ] ) ;

		$trace_calls = implode ( ")\n\tcalled at [" , $buffer[ "0" ] ) ;

		unset ( $buffer ) ;

		echo "<pre>function " . __FUNCTION__ . " lives here:{$this_file}: 
{$this_line}</pre>" ;
		echo ( "<pre>" . print_r( func_get_args (  ) , true ) . "</pre>" ) ; 	
		if ( $trace_calls == "" ) $trace_calls = "No functions were called." ;
		echo ( "<pre>" . $trace_calls . "</pre>" ) ; 	
		die ;

	}
	
}
