IMO, it's not what was originally described by the OP, which was something like:

  A.rb:
    require 'B'
    class Foo; def initialize; process(); end; end

  B.rb:
    class Foo; def process(); end; end

IMO, classes should -- as much as is possible -- have all of their
definition in a single location, using alternate locations only as
necessary.
