I guess I'm not communicating very well today. Let me try one last time.

At http://ruby-talk.org/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/154898 you gave the
following example to demonstrate how Ruby works internally when doing
load(file,true):

    moulon% cat b.rb
    #!/usr/bin/ruby
    module Anonymous
       module M
          include Anonymous   # (X)
          extend Anonymous    # (Y)
       end

       include M
    end

If I delete lines (X) and (Y), this script runs without an error.

So, I am trying to ask, why does Ruby forcibly add steps (X) and (Y) in the
first place?

Regards,

Brian.
