Stephen,
strider_core() is your core class and you seperate it out into a .php
file.Now this is being reused by all your plugins, as you mentioned.
Then why do you want to maintain duplicate copies of this file.You have the
core files in its own directory and include this directory in every plugin
that you intent to code.
The idea of maintaining duplicate copies and versions suck.You don't
maintain duplicate versions of a reusable class in object oriented
programming.
Cheers,
Rajesh
