Could you open an issue on the tracker for this? Thanks.

Wouldn't it be better to move these to the cms folder than to have a cms specific modification in the joomla folder?

The fix isn't so much CMS specific than already fixed in the platform. Just in a different way we probably don't wanna do for 2.5.x (these classes are now autoloadable in the platform)

That's what I'm saying I think. Rather than modify the CMS version of the platform why don't we add to cms? I think we should try to keep thing as clean as possible.

Define clean? If you mean 11.4 - well than I should probably not backport all that stuff from the platform ;)

Seriously there's no harm in adding this. Yes it will be overwritten by the next full platform sync, but that's fine because it's a better - and fully compatible - fix.

If it helps clarify this patch,

libraries/joomla/access/access.php
13 +jimport('joomla.application.component.helper');

fixes the JComponentHelper dependencies found in the same file at

288 $result = array(JComponentHelper::getParams('com_users')->get('guest_usergroup',
1));
301 $query->where('a.id = ' . (int)
JComponentHelper::getParams('com_users')->get('guest_usergroup', 1));

and

libraries/joomla/installer/installer.php
17 +jimport('joomla.event.dispatcher');

fixes the JDispatcher dependencies found in the same file at

466 $dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance();
544 $dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance();
658 $dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance();
710 $dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance();

I'm closing this as it's not mergeable and 1 year old. Feel free to open if you update it and are still interested in get it merged.

Thanks for contributing.
