Thanks for the response. I can't say that it is intuitive at all, but I think I get what is happening now.

```ruby
module A
  module B
  end
end

module C
  include A

  puts B.inspect # => A::B

  class D
    puts B.inspect rescue puts 'failed' # => failed
  end

  B = B

  class E
    puts B.inspect # => A::B
  end
end
```

When you include a module you gain access to that module's constants as seen in line 9. Line 19 shows that you can get constants defined in the nested module when the constant is defined within the module itself.

Line 12 is the bug. Shouldn't class `D` be able to access module `B` since the previous line shows that module `C` has access to Module `B`?
