Sorry, I probably wasn't clear enough. It wasn't so much that I changed my 
mind, as I just decided that I prefer the methods at the instance level. The 
difference between this:
  
  module Foo
    class << eval
      def foo
        ...
      end
    end
  end

And this

  module Foo
    def foo 
      ...
    end
  end

At first I was trying to get the former's class-level method to be "class 
inheritable" on include (which is what your example succeeds at quite 
nicely). But now I'm thinking I like using the later better b/c the code is 
more reusable in that form.

That's all I meant. I'm still doing the same thing --using a module in a 
module. Although I'm not modifying the Module class itself to do the work 
anymore.

Hmmm...That makes me wonder. Who has found a NECESSARY use for modules that 
have BOTH mixable methods AND class-level methods?
