I don't really understand your problem or your examples,  but
 others apparently do. So I'll just make a few comments.

I fear that if I were to put all of these functions into one class, than I would have a single, very large source file.  I don't like working with large source files for practicall reasons.

Definitely limit your source file size. 10k lines is probably a
 good limit.

That's a big mistake right there.  Never let the module name match
 the class name.  If you really only happen to have a single class
 in the file, then just use lower case for the filename.
