Tanax: Take a look at the PHP documentation regarding the exceptions, and how to build your own. You're then able to distinguish between regular exceptions and more specific exceptions, such as database exceptions. With try blocks you're able to have a multitude of catch statements.

Allworknoplay: Consider a simple autoloading function such as the following, perhaps this could be more useful to you for the lazy loader:

php Code:

function __autoload($szClassName)
{
    $szFilePath = str_replace('_', '/', $szClassName) . '.php';
    include_once($szFilePath);
}

new Core_Exception();
new Core_Database_Row();

This, of course, requires you to carefully consider the file structure and naming structure of your files and their classes. I'm quite biased in this approach, because I really love the way that Zend Framework implements their file naming structure. Zend_Db_Row, for example, is instantly identifiable as being located in the file Zend/Db/Row.php.
