I've started to document myself regarding Zend Framework as I will soon start using it in production. Everything was working fine, until I started to use and work with models :).

The default location for models, based on Zend recommendations, is `application/models/DbTable`, where all the models will be thrown in. This location forces me to name a model like `Application_Model_DbTable_Actors`. For me, this is a very long name for a model and not a easy to use one. 

The directory structure that I want to obtain looks something like this:

```
application/
  models/
    actors/
      ActorsMapper.php
      Actor.php
    books/
      BooksMapper.php
      Book.php

```

etc.

So all my models will reside under the `models` directory, but grouped in their own directories.

Naming for each class should be `ActorsMapper` or `Actor` (They will both extend `Zend_Db_Table` or `Zend_Db_Row`).

I am aware of the fact that in my controllers if I instantiate a model using something like `$actors = new ActorsMapper()` I will get a `Fatal error: Class not found` and that why I'm asking for your help with this. 

To solve this issue I tried to add my `models` directory to the include\_path:

* first try

added `includePaths.models = APPLICATION_PATH "/models"` to application.ini

but this one doesn't even add it to the include path

* second try:

explicitely added the path using `set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
 realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library'),
 realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/models'),
 get_include_path(),
)));`

but even if this adds that path among the included ones, the error still persists.

I've seen this naming of models in the [official documentation](http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.db.table.html) of the `Zend_Db_Table`, but I couldn't find anything related to autoloading them.

Thank you all for any solutions.

p.s. zend framework version is 1.11.1
