No, but it's always possible to split one big class into several ones
and use inheritance.

Really?

I have a class right now that uses at least 3 different files, through
if-include-else-include's.

Beyond that, I use EXTENDS all the time to use more than one file to
define a class.

Inside methods, offcourse it's possible (allthough if/else structures
often (not always!) indicate a flaw in OO design). What is not possible is
this:

class.php
<?php
class foo{
include('/path/to/body.php');
}
?>
body.php
<?php
function bar(){echo 'foobar';}
?>

or this:

file1.php
<?php
class foo{
?>
file2.php
<?php
function bar(){ return false;}
}
?>
glueclasstogether.php:
<?php
include('file1.php');
include('file2.php');
?>

extending a class creating a new class, not splitting the current
definition across multiple files.

Let's see your code which splits a class across multiple files.
