Extending the core db class is a great idea.

Instead of having to include $db in ever function argument, I have been 
using $db in a global context as previously mentioned. If typing $GLOBAL
{'db'] gets old, you can also set up a constructor in each class:

class foo {
    private $db

    public function __construct() {
        $this->db = $GLOBAL['db];  // reference to global db object
    }

    public function addContent($type) {}
 }
