Yes, I was going to comment on this before, but forgot.
(First, I'm not sure I would call this object-oriented!)

I did start a wiki-page with similar ideas at:
  http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php?NewWikiPageNameSemantics


UseMod has a SubPage feature which is very similar to what you suggest
  see http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?action=browse&id=SubPage

UseMod uses '/' as the separator between page and subpage.  I think '.'
makes a much better separator.  Perhaps this is because of my Unix
background '/ToDo'  doesn't look like a sub-page to me --- the leading
slash to me indicates a top-level file.  

Why two leading dots and not just one?  Why couldn't .ToDo be enough?
