[wp-hackers] Plugin main file name

[Stephen Rider]

This is essentially what I was trying to do, except that you never  
actually create an object, you just call functions with the ::

That might be the key right there.  Maybe I can figure out a way to  
load all the plugins, and have something hooked to call the correct  
core file at the end, and then create all the objects for all the  
plugins at once.  Potential there....

I could build an array of each copy of the core file containing  
version and path.  Then at the end look at the versions and load the  
highest one, then load the plugin classes.

Food for thought.  I'll do a write-up if I get it working. :)
