How to include nested classes when running via PHP CLI?

Question

Yii

I call the script from the console
php /var/www/myFile.php
In it, I connect the class using this code (found on the internet)

function classes($class)
{
    $app = dirname(__DIR__);

    $class = str_replace('app\\', '', $class);

    $file = $app . "/" . str_replace("\\", "/", $class) . ".php";

    if (file_exists($file)) {
        require_once $file;
    }
}

spl_autoload_register('classes');

But if the plug-in class contains other classes, then it does not see the nested ones.
This is how it works

function classes($class)
{
    $app = dirname(__DIR__);

    $class = str_replace('app\\', '', $class);

    $file = $app . "/" . str_replace("\\", "/", $class) . ".php";

    if (file_exists($file)) {
        require_once $file;
    }
}

spl_autoload_register('classes');

// /var/www/www-root/data/www/dev.goti.ru/app/components/Xml.php

$class = new Class();

But if other classes are called in Class.php, then they are not included. I do all this in yii2.

You have Yii in your tags. Why didn't you create a command (console controller) using the framework itself and run it through php yii <controller>/<action>?
upd: Here everything is described quite well and clearly.
