Right, first the way you call Set::*** is static invocation, so if you
want your class to work this way make sure you don't use member
variables or $this inside your methods.
To make the class available on every request, put a require_once()
inside your app/config/bootstrap.php file. You could quite easily make
it a vendor class and use vendor() inside bootstrap.php - but that
would seem a bit wierd since that folder is for "third-party code"
while your class clearly has a dependency on cakephp code - the Object
class for one. Not 100% sure about this - it would be nice to have an
app-level "libs" folder but I think the cake devs decided against this
because it would be abused by people not bothering with MVC - all
helpers/components/behaviors/whatever would just be "libs".
Of course, if only your models need the class it would make more sense
to put the require_once() in the app_model.php code, just above the
AppModel class declaration. Still, the whole vendor() vs
require_once() problem remains the same.
Also, since you are essentially extending the cake code, it would be
neat to stick to cake conventions and stay PHP4-compatible (avoid the
"public" declaration) - but hey, that's just nitpicking!
Hope this helps
