By layer I assume you mean the class. / interface. part of the filename?

My reasoning is that if we use an autoload (which makes things mcuh easier) there's no way to tell whether it's an interface or a class that needs to be loaded. Stripping out that identifier from the name makes things a little easier. Otherwise we'd have to include both class_name.php and interface_name.php (which isn't too good) and check which one wasn't included.

Thinking about it, the require in my method should be an include - otherwise it will just fatal the app before we even get to the exception.
