Factsheet
According to my experience, all you have to do is import the right files and that's all. There is no "standard" way to use 3rd party libraries I think.
But the library you are using should have documentation. Make sure to read it because maybe you only have to import one file and that file is importing the others.
The most popular way of installing and using packages in php is using composer. You can get more information on composer at https://getcomposer.org. Composer will handle the auto loading for you so that you don't need to include every single file into the files.
You may also be interested in having a look at packagist.org where you can find a bunch of packages to use with composer/your projects.
