Zend Framework 2.0 Interface not found

Question

Short version

Where does the Client class look for the DispatchableInterface interface?

class Client implements Libraries\Stdlib\DispatchableInterface

I'm trying to add the ZF2 libraries to a CodeIgniter installation. The whole Zend folder sits in:

 /Users/stef/Sites/site_name/application/libraries/

In my CI controller I have

public function run()
{
    $CI =& get_instance();
    $CI->load->library('Zend');
    $CI->load->library('Zend/Http/Client');
    $client = new Client($url);

    //Do stuff
}

When I access the run() method I get a fatal error:

Fatal error: Interface 'Zend\Stdlib\DispatchableInterface' not found in /Users/stef/Sites/site_name/application/libraries/Zend/Http/Client.php on line 27

In libraries/Zend.php (a file I added, not part of the ZF) I have

function __construct($class = NULL)
{
    // include path for Zend Framework
    // alter it accordingly if you have put the 'Zend' folder elsewhere
    ini_set('include_path',ini_get('include_path') . PATH_SEPARATOR . APPPATH . 'libraries/Zend/');
    }

It doesn't seem to matter what I set the include_path to be, even when I put bogus values the fatal error stays the same. So it seems that the loading of the interface DispatchableInterface doesn't make use of the include_path.

How can I get Client.php to "find" the interface, which it tries to do so here:

class Client implements Libraries\Stdlib\DispatchableInterface

Least difficult solution is probably:

set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . '/Users/stef/Sites/site_name/application/libraries/');
require_once 'Zend/Loader/StandardAutoloader.php';
$loader = new Zend\Loader\StandardAutoloader(array('autoregister_zf' => true));
$loader->register();

Then skip the CI->load part. And just use new Zend\Http\Client. Also make sure that the dispatchable interface is in /Users/stef/Sites/site_name/application/libraries/Zend/Stdlib/DispatchableInterface.php

Update: I noticed just now:

class Client implements Libraries\Stdlib\DispatchableInterface

What class is this? Is it Zend's class? I guess it's some class of yours. And you're adding wrongly namespaced interface. IMO it should be \Zend\Stdlib\DispatchableInterface
