You can't include the class files for compiled classes, they all exist 
at startup and you get a redeclaration error if you try. I explained 
this in the documentation page on mediawiki.org which has now appeared.

The autoloader is not used. It doesn't matter where the class_exists() 
is. HipHop scans the entire codebase for class_exists() at compile 
time, and breaks any classes it finds, whether the or not the 
class_exists() is reachable.
