At the cost of sounding thick, I'll say that I'm not sure exactly what
you're trying to do.  Can you explain a little more, or provide a
smaller example?  (Or wait for someone who gets it to answer you :-)

Also see the thread(s) from a couple of weeks ago or so on class
variables.  (See thread at [ruby-talk:19506], and also 19972 and
19974, which have to do with adding class variables to an existing
class hierarchy.)
