I think that's the natural approach.

If you can't do this, then could we add the operation at the C level
lazily?  When an operation is added to a service at the PHP level, don't
add the operation at the C level, but keep it as a pending operation at
the PHP level.  If an operation is invoked and the C level can't find an
appropriate operation, then check the pending operations and invoke the
appropriate one.  Only then add it at the C level using the return value
to determine the MEP.

Don't we have the same problem in generating the WSDL?
