[PHP] Is it possible to create a global namespace alias?

[Matt Palermo]

Is it possible to create a global namespace alias in PHP or does the alias 
have to be defined in EVERY file that I use?  Here is an example:

file:  main.php
?php
use \this\is\my\custom\namespace\Item as nsItem;
?


file:  index.php
?php
require_once “main.php”;

// Attempt to use namespace alias defined in main.php file
nsItem::test();
?


The above code doesn’t work for me.  The namespace alias defined in the 
main.php file isn’t accessible in the index.php file.  Is there a way to make 
the “nsItem” alias a “global” one, so that I don’t have to define it in EVERY 
file that I want to use?
