Personally, I find having lots of classes in one source file ugly. But

I'm not sure about 'better', but the following mapping should help
you:
:nmap <Leader>c :?^\s*class? mark c\| echo getline("'c")<cr>
This will search back to the last class definition, mark it with 'c,
and echo that line at the bottom of the window without changing your
current cursor position.
