 Well, a stupid example

moulon% cat a.rb
def hello
   puts "bonjour"
end

class A
   def hello
      super
   end
end

A.new.hello
moulon% 

moulon% ruby a.rb
bonjour
moulon% 

moulon% ruby -e 'load("a.rb", true)'
bonjour
moulon% 

 without the include super will give

 in `hello': super: no superclass method `hello' (NoMethodError)
