PHP classes in child themes

  • When using custom page templates in a child theme to build out certain functionality, is it possible to move PHP code out into its own class?

    class AIS_Rest {
	private $rest_domain;
	public function __construct() {
		$this->rest_domain = 'https://something:8080/rest';
	}
	more functions…

    Now lets say in the page template itself we want to instantiate that class:

    $ais_rest = new AIS_Rest();
get_header();
do stuff with $ais_rest...

    What is the proper way to require and use that class? It assumes this is brand new functionality that does not belong to the parent theme.
