 * I am developing a plugin using this structure:
 *     ```
       if( !class_exists( 'My_Plugin' ) ) {
         class My_Plugin {
         // Methods
         }
       }
       if( class_exists( 'My_Plugin' ) ) {
         $my_objecct = new My_Plugin();
       }
       if ( isset($myobject) ) {
         // Filters & Hooks
       }
       ```
   
 * I want is to add an extra methods (only on some cases) to the main class, like
   this:
 *     ```
       if ( class_exists( 'My_Plugin' ) && !class_exists( 'My_Plugin_Extends' ) ) {
         class My_Plugin_Extends extends My_Plugin {
         // Other methods
         }
       }
       ```
   
 * I am trying to verify on which context I am in order to use `$my_objecct = new
   My_Plugin();` or `$my_objecct = new My_Plugin_Extends();` but at the plugin loading
   moment it seems to be that I don’t have much information yet… (`$post` or `$wp_query`
   globals are empty). I would like to check if the post is on a given category (
   so I need the extra methods).
 * Suggestions…?
