Subject: Stuck with modules/classes/inheritance

given:

test.rb :

require 'b'

b = B.new


lib/base.rb:

module A
  class Base
  end
end

lib/b.rb:

module A
  class B < Base
  end
end


Why do I get

./lib/b.rb:2: uninitialized constant A::Base (NameError)
        from test.rb:1:in `require'
        from test.rb:1

?

This is a stripped down version of what I want to do (ie organize my 
code into a module, but still keep classes in separate files, have a 
base class and inherit).

It's probably something trivial, but at the moment I'm stuck - any help 
would be (as always) greatly appreciated
