That seemed to work pretty well and seemed a bit less messy

Here is what I did:

In my array included file:

$months_ary = array(
	'1'=>'January',
	'2'=>'February',
	'3'=>'March',
	'4'=>'April',
	'5'=>'May',
	'6'=>'June',
	'7'=>'July',
	'8'=>'August',
	'9'=>'September',
	'10'=>'October',
	'11'=>'November',
	'12'=>'December');

$uom_ary = array(
	'Each'=>'Each',
	'Dozen'=>'Dozen');
	
$global_arys = array(
	'Months'=>$months_ary,
	'UOM'=>$uom_ary);

Then I instantiated the class:

$processing_cl = new processing_class($global_arys);

I can then pull the arrays out of the construct with func_get_args()

Does that seem like a decent approach.  Maybe I am over complicating 
this at this time, but it is kind of good to know different ways of 
approaching different situations if needed.

Thanks again for idea.
