-- In general, things that a user can do belong in the User class, while things your application can do with a user belong somewhere else.

Yeah, thats what I'm going for. I just saw the cookie/session stuff to more of a user type thing than an application -- because the cookie/session stuff would affect the loggedIn/virgin status of the user.

I do have a bit of a procedural model in here (psuedocode below, as I'm at work and the real code is at home): 
$r = apache registry;
$user = new myPackage::User(\$r);
$page = new myPackage::Page(\$user)
$r->send_headers()
$r->print( $page->getContent  )

So i instantiate a new user, who contains various methods, variables, and refs to their particular get/post and session data

Then i instantiate a new page, which contains a ref to the user who requested that page. An internal subroutine decides which page to show based on the user's get/post data , checks whether the user has enough privileges to process that page, and returns the html representation.

That seems to work well for my needs -- splitting the logic behind a user and a page into separate trees.
