Subject: simple scope question

Is it possible to place another file within the same scope
as another file that loads it?
For example, I can't get this to work:
-----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# file1.rb
file1 = "something"
-----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# file2.rb
load 'file1.rb'
puts file1
-----------------------------------------

C:/>file2.rb
C:/file2.rb:4: undefined local variable or method `file1' for main:Object (NameError)

Of course, I could make them global variables, but it would be nice if I could load it
in with the same scope.

Any ideas?
Thanks!
