 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to add some OOP with php5 to my wordpress plugin..
 * so i have my class
 *     ```
       class Test {
       function __construct()
       {
       log("constructed");
       }
       }
   
       $instance = new Test();
       ```
   
 * now when i test it in wordpress.. it always get 2 instances.. because my log 
   shows “constructed” twice!
 * I tried avoiding it by an isset($instance) … but that didn’t work..
 * How can I avoid this, any help???
 * Thanks in advance!!
