I noticed the missing ! as I pressed send ;). The 'problem' is only that all the files in yoru models directory are loaded by cake, and the order they are loaded depends on their name (which is dictated by convention).
therefore: if you try to extend a class that isn´t loaded when the model file is included, you get an error. If you include it yourself it then means that you can load your class but you are redeclaring the parent because it's 'on the list' of files that cake is going to include and you get an error. using class_exists is a bit of a hack but avoids problems.
