I'm currently using \PassOptionsToClass, as suggested in Conditional Compiling and \documentclass to compile a document in several languages. However, if I use language-options in \PassOptionsToClass, they will not be passed to babel.
since babel does not get the english option.
So here is my actual question: Is there any (simple) possibility to add a global option (which is passed to subsequent packages) before the actual \documentclass?
I'm not really sure why you would choose to do this: a class shouldn't really be messing about with this type of thing.
