Fasttemplate in main page and class

[Wayne64]

I am using fasttemplate in a standard way to separate php and html - nothing fancy at all, I include class.FastTemplate.php3, write the code and it works.
Within a class I introduced I want to generate a file using fasttemplate. Within the function that uses it I include class.FastTemplate.php3, write the code to use it and it works.

The problem is when both occurrences of fasttemplate are invoked - that is, the processing involving my class object occurs as well as drawing the page (usually it processes and uses Header("Location: ...) to redirect, or it displays the page without processing)

I'm not sure if I'm dealing with scoping issues, instantiation of class object within my own object, or exactly what issue I'm beating my head against. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks for answering ... I should now crawl back under the rock I came from. But if I may tempt fate by risking a followup q ...

What is the difference between using include_once in both locations and placing include or require at the top of the main php file for the page. I tried that and it failed, but I thought that would guarantee that the fasttemplate class would be defined in both places.

Curious only, since your simple solution worked. Thanks again for taking the time.

Presumably because of a scope issue, hard to say without seeing the code.
