How can I tell if a class is defined?

You can do it this way:

    if(!defined("__PREPEND_INCLUDE_INC__"))
        include("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/php3/phplib6/prepend.php3");

and in prepend.php3, I begin with

    if(!defined("__PREPEND_INCLUDE_INC__"))
        define("__PREPEND_INCLUDE_INC__",1);



Nice way, but you need to manage your includes with an if-statement. An 
alternative solution may be

prepend.php3:

   if(!defined("__PREPEND_INCLUDE_INC__")) {
      define("__PREPEND_INCLUDE_INC__",1);

      // your code

   }

So you can leave your include simple.
