Create an AJAX interface class
We want to make it possible to provide some kind of ajax class interface
which would contain something like this:
- basic javascript function to call an ajax class without return value
- javascript function or template to do the same with return value(s)
- as parameter we could provide kind of a simple class to make parameter objects
- basic class loader in /classes/ajax which loads a classname by the above function call
- abstract class or interface to provide similar functionality
- child classes implementing interface / abstract to provide the ajax functionality
- location for child classes? /classes/
- location for loader? /classes/
- What about security while creating dynamic objects?
That's everything so far... I'il update this as soon something
more comes to my mind

by checking for class existance after include
