How about this?
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Users', dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) .
DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'models');
I can almost hear the boos, but it works for a conventional modular layout.
Personally I'd like to see Zend_Controller_Action provide the info so I
could do this:
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Users', $this->getModuleDirectory() .
DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'models');
No need for another helper class. No need to bloat your include_path or
bloat your boostrap.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Padraic advocates read only model access
from views so not sure that this would help in that, but I'm almost excited
about the big throwdown at:
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Zend_View+Enhancement+VS.+Zend_Layout+Throwdown
I don't get out much :)
