Yii import or include

Question

I encountered a problem about importing php files.

Why this works:

include( Yii::getPathOfAlias( 'ext.payu.payU').'.php' );

but that don't:

Yii::import( 'ext.payu.payU');

?

file payU.php:

include_once( dirname(__FILE__) . "/sdk/openpayu.php"); //this is a valid path
class payU{ }

Solution

Try to do Yii::import('ext.payu.payU', true) because default one-parameter Yii::import() function call means:

hey, just add this path to the known aliases list and do not require() it now

and you have to do new payU() for this to work.

What does "not work" mean? Please provide some code and any relevant setPathOfAlias calls (if there are such).
