I recommend using namespaces, and PSR-4. You could simply copy this autoloader example from FIG.

But if you don't want to, you can use an autoloader like this one, that defines an convention for WP classes names, and uses that to find the class file.

So, for example, if you call a 'Main' class, then this autoloader will try to include the class file from path:

/class-main.php
