Is there a solution to having to include all classes individually under a namespace?
My Laravel files are getting huge because I have to keep including a heck load of namespaces... It's pretty awful!
As a temporary solution, why might the following not be working:
namespace.Blah.txt:
use Blah\Blah;
use Blah\Bloh;
php code:
eval( file_get_contents( "namespace.Blah.txt" );
If I could get this to work, I could evaluate the contents of a file... I do understand it's a bit noob... but... dammit!

A namespace is used to avoid conflicting definitions and introduce more flexibility and organization in the code base. Just like directories, namespace can contain a hierarchy know as subnamespaces. PHP uses the backslash as its namespace separator.
To address this problem, namespaces were introduced in PHP as of PHP 5.3. The best way to understand namespaces is by analogy to the directory structure concept in a filesystem. The directory which is used to group related files serves the purpose of a namespace.
Multiple namespaces may also be declared in the same file. There are two allowed syntaxes. This syntax is not recommended for combining namespaces into a single file. Instead it is recommended to use the alternate bracketed syntax.
In the PHP world, namespaces are designed to solve two problems that authors of libraries and applications encounter when creating re-usable code elements such as classes or functions: Name collisions between code you create, and internal PHP classes/functions/constants or third-party classes/functions/constants.
There isn't, but in PHP 7 you'll be able to
use FooLibrary\Bar\Baz\{ ClassA, ClassB, ClassC, ClassD as Fizbo };
As the following RFC has passed:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/group_use_declarations
EDIT:
Note that too many uses in a class may be a sign of "smell". Isn't that particular class doing too much? Shouldn't you be creating new "base" classes and extending them?
