If you start adding more functions you may want to put them into a
separate file.
The top of my bootstrap.php looks like this:
// This would mess things up royally--> App::import('Vendor',
'basics');
require_once(APP.'vendors'.DS.'basics.php');
I mention it mostly because you have to do a good old require unless
you want Cake's internals all confused. App::import() can't be used
because of Cake's bootstrapping order. Simply put bootstrap.php is
loaded before the "App" is ready to run. It took me a lot of time and
effort to track down that this was the cause for all sorts of
strangeness.
