It sounds like you want the ability to change which class you use for
something by just changing it in one place. So, you might have
something like this:

define('DatabaseConnection', 'MySQLDatabaseConnection');

which could then later be easily changed to:

define('DatabaseConnection', 'OracleDatabaseConnection');

Without modifying the rest of your code. Is that what you're trying
to achieve? If so you should use the factory pattern:

class DatabaseConnection {

public static function factory() {
return new MySQLDatabaseConnection();
}
}

class MySQLDatabaseConnection extends DatabaseConnection {

....

}

etc.

Never, I hope. If you cannot even trust your identifiers, all hope of
maintaining code is gone forever.

Especially the example is stunning. This has nothing to do with object
orientation. If you do this the object-oriented way, you can use
factories, interfaces and subclasses.
Off course, a factory is a method (or a function), so you can SEE that
it is defined elsewhere. And you can even pass it parameters.
