So, I guess that the best thing for me to do in this case is to
restructure my class library ("Foo"), getting rid of the actual class
"Foo".
Indeed, the class "Foo" only contains some class constants, which
define certain globally used information (like database usernames
etc).

Thank you for clarifying this too. I was not aware of this situation exactly.
