Not so. You should be thoughtful about what you put in the toplevel.
It's very easy to wipe out someone elses file this way. In general you
should ALWAYS put your files in a subdir named after your project. And
if need be, have one .rb file with the same name that the lib's user
can require.

Other than that there is no standard. Organize your files and their
contents as you like.
