perhaps that was spoken too soon:

I tried it, but I don't get the wrapper-module back. load only returns true
or false, so have an anonymous module and can't do anything with it

my idea was to do this

#### code that doesn't work ####
module My_Module
��������class�MyTest
����������������def�initialize(str)
������������������������puts�"initializing:�#{str}"
����������������end
                include load('include_me.rb', true)
��������end
end

but since load() returns true it won't work.
am I missing something or is load() not the answer for my problem?
