Subject: define a function inside a method

Hi,

I wrote a method which uses recursion, internally. As a test, I tried to 
define the recursive function inside the method that is called :

class Ga
  def bu
    def zo(n)
      # recursively call zo
    end
  10.times {|n| zo(n)}
end

At my surprise, this code ran well ! But I wonder if this is a good idea... 
Should I be aware of possible problems, or limitations,  coming from this 
kind of construction ? I can't figure out where the zo function 
actually "lives".

Thanks.
