PHP Fatal error: Class not found

I've a very strange issue. In one class "SMSNotifier" I have 

require_once (__DIR__ . "/../InvitationNotifier.php");
[...] 
class SMSNotifier extends InvitationNotifier {
[...] 
}

this class is included in another script which is called from the cli. When calling this script I get 

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'InvitationNotifier' not found in [...]/include/classi/notifiche/notifiers/SMSNotifier.php on line 12

The strange thing is that if I replace the require_once with a require I get instead 

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare class InvitationNotifier in [...]/include/classi/notifiche/InvitationNotifier.php on line 11

What could be the issue here?

Thank you in advance for any thought. I've ran out of them...

You should not just be loading up files like it's 1990. Use Composer (PHP) and follow PSR-4 http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4

composer.json

{
  "autoload": {
    "psr-4": {"InvitationNotifier\\": "lib/"}
  }
}

index.php

require_once('autoload.php');

I've continued trying to understand the issue and I've found out that there was a circular dependency. I've "cut it" down and the issue is gone. Hope this can help someone
