Thanks, consider it canned!

Without looking at anything like YAML etc one question:

I have variables in one file, load file in to another using "require", 
then try to access those variables.

How is this done in standard ruby progs. I know you can do it in Rails 
by setting @variable then that is available in the view for example.
