yes

You have no namespaces setup in your Role.php

Per your PSR-0 structure, and as you said you have a "models" dir:

// Role.php
<?php namespace Alakees\Cms\Models;

class Role extends Eloquent {
 protected $fillable = ['name'];

}

Then you can call this Role using the namespace:

<?php
Route::get('toto', function()
{
 $member = \Alakees\Cms\Models\Role::create(['name' => 'member']);
});

Thanks for your answer, in fact my error, on top of the missing namespace, was that my "models" directory was in alakees/cms/src. I moved it instead to alakees/cms/src/Alakees/Cms and now it's fine
