Instead of include, you may want:
require 'intertia'

This will load up inertia.rb, which i'm assuming contains either a class or a 
module name Intertia. Then you can use it via Interia.new() or 
Intertia::do_stuff_with_intertia().

Correct me if I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do here.
