I know about $this and I'm pretty sure we're saying the same thing.  Both of the following methods
are possible.  The first is much cleaner, but the second is still valid and works.  I wasn't saying
you should do it, just that it could be done!

<?php
class myTestClassA() {

    function myTestClassA() { // constructor
        add_action('activate_samba/loadbalancer.php', array(&$this,  'install');
    }

    function install() {
        // do install stuff here
    }

}
$singletonA = new myTestClassA;

class myTestClassB() {

    function myTestClassB() { // constructor
    }

    function install() {
	global $singletonB;
        // do install stuff here
    }

}
$singletonB = new myTestClassB;

add_action('activate_samba/loadbalancer.php', array('myTestClassB',  'install');
?>

Cheers,

Jamie.
