Where to place includes for import script?

[Ronald Heft]

I have a minor "where should this go" question. Upon searching for how
to authenticate using WSSE today (the protocol used for AtomPub
authentication), I stumbled upon an excellent class which handles the
authentication.

For the time being, I have placed this class in /wp-admin/import/mt-
atom/ and included it in the importer. Although, I'm wondering if it
would be a better idea to have the class globally available via wp-
includes or just for simplicity sake (since no other importers have
folders), move the class inside of my importer's file. The class isn't
too large, so it could probably be placed in the importer without
trouble.

Any thoughts on this? I'm fine where it is now, but would obviously
like to have it in the proper place if down the road someone dislikes
the extra folder in /wp-admin/import/

Either wp-admin/includes or wp-includes as class-xxx.php.

The choice between the two is basically whether or not the file is
useful outside the admin context.

If you can envisage it being used by a plugin which provides frontend
functionality then wp-includes. Otherwise wp-admin/includes it is.
