OK -- so i'm trying to get my head around this, and it's just confusing me.
  1. where is  $this coming from, and what is it supposed to reference?
  2. how does SiteManager dispatch sub-requests in this case? i can see that a new EventManager is instantiated, but when I tried it, i got an infinite loop
maybe a better explanation of what i'm doing (or trying to do) is a better idea ...

essentially, the admin side of this site has various management functions ( email editing, email sending, event calendar population ), and i'd like to keep on URL for the client so that he can just bookmark (or remember ) that and be done with it.

because each 'set' of admin functions does different things, i'm trying to break those out into modules so that what got called for what set of functions is easier to find.

i'm anticipating a menu (top or left, doesn't matter) where links like "manage email" and "manage events" will be, and those are the 'sets' of functions i'm using.

i can see the links going to other CGI scripts, but the only thing that saves me, i think, is the confusion of trying the 'dispatch tables' i'm working towards now ...
