Subject: Newbie: Question => How to do this with Classes ?

class Important
  def set_this_value_method(value)
  end
end

class SemiImportant < Important
   set_this_value_method :something_or_anything
end

Could some kind sould please, please take the time to explain the 
fundamentals of Ruby's class/module functionality in regards to the 
above example.

I'm a photographer/php 'programmer' so I speak fairly good English, but 
very little geek speak, so please don't assume too much.  Having said 
the above, I've created fairly complex class structures/frameworks in 
PHP, so I'm not completely dense, although grepping Ruby's syntax 
certainly makes me feel that way.

I have the books "Pickaxe", "Ruby for Rails" & "AWDR" and I have tried 
to read my way to an answer, but these books are designed for 
programmers, and not visual people like myself, so hence I can't see the 
answers in them, even though they may well be in there.

To give you the context of my question, please consider this Rails code 
example:

class DumbNewbie < ActiveRecord::Base
   has_many :questions
end

Hope I've been clear, yet succinct, enough  to not waste too much 
bandwith.  I'll be extremely grateful for anyone taking the time to get 
me over this major hurdle.
