Sure.

$object = mgd_get_object_by_guid($guid);

1. Scenario with tablename&id 

SELECT realm , id from repligard where guid=$guid;
Returned value is topic,3. Now we have X types which uses table topic.
What should be selected from topic table?

2. Scenario with typename&id

SELECT typename , id from repligard where guid=$guid;
Returned value is my_db_superclass,3.
new instance of my_db_superclass is created and got by id 3.

Real example could use midgard_group and org_openpsa_organization.
Both types use grp table. But use different columns.

Of course get_by_guid method shouldn't make any repligard table lookups.
