I'm not sure I've followed the discussion, but this is something I use 
to load (or require) a script and get an actual object (a module, in 
fact) that has the methods (and constants) defined in the script:

The basic idea is just "module_eval(IO.read(file))", but there's some 
convenience stuff around that.
