Hmmm, I'm not sure I get your question right but I think you're doing a
confusion.
You can save any project to a file using WorldMenu->Projects->save
project on local file only.
The resulting file is not like a c++ or Java program you can compile and
execute or read it.
It is the serialized representation of the Project instance you are saving.
If you want to see what happens when you save/load a project then take a
look to
Project>>exportSegmentFileName: aFileName directory: aDirectory
ProjectLoading Class>>openFromDirectory: aDirectory andFileName: aFileName

All the classes loaded by a project are also objects associated with the
project instance (take a look to change sets).
So they were also serialized like normal objects when you have saved the
project.
Take a look to http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1817

I hope this helps.
