Well, if we are talking about a module, you might be able to include it:

 >> module Namespace
 >>   extend self
 >>   def some_method
 >>     puts "Hello!"
 >>   end
 >> end
=> nil
 >> Namespace::some_method
Hello!
=> nil
 >> include Namespace
=> Object
 >> some_method
Hello!
=> nil

Hope that helps.
