My solution to this problem was to write a class loader and to call it
whenever I needed a particular class. I give each instance a name and
the loader checks if an instance of that class, that name exists. If
it does it returns a  reference directly, if not it loads the class
and then returns the reference. This way I don't have to worry about
passing references around. It is a little more complex than that as I
also check if the class was passed the same variables, if not it calls
the constructor again. Let me know if you want to try the code (only
tested on php4)

[PHP] Best way to use other objects within classes?
