In CakePHP 2.x I had static classes inside:
\app\Lib\Util\MyStaticClass1.php
\app\Lib\Util\MyStaticClass2.php
Then in app\Config\bootstrap.php file I added these lines.
App::uses('MyStaticClass1', 'Lib/Util');
App::uses('MyStaticClass2', 'Lib/Util');
So I didn't include these classes in every controller, component, helper or ctp file.
How can I do this in CakePHP 3 ? I tried this:
I copied these files to
\src\Util\MyStaticClass1.php\src\Util\MyStaticClass2.php
Then inside every controller, component, helper and ctp file I added this:
use App\Util\MyStaticClass1;
use App\Util\MyStaticClass2;
This works. But is there an easier way to include these files ?

I don't think so that's how the namespaces work. You could wrap the static method class in traits. See the EventManagerTrait of the core for example.

This is bad practice and introduces tight coupling. I think your application architecture needs a serious overhaul if you used them everywhere extensively.
