Yes :) I'm trying to basically "load in" a bunch of class files and
detect their public methods, including those defined in included
modules. Consider this file structure:

apps/
  controllers/
    store/
      items_controller.rb -> class Store::ItemsController <<
ApplicationController
                               def index
                                 # blah blah
                               end
                             end
    manage/
      items_controller.rb -> class Manage::ItemsController <<
ApplicationController
                               include Poly::BackendCrud
                               def show
                                 # blah blah
                               end
                             end
lib/
  poly.rb -> module Poly
               module BackendCrud
                 def save
                   # blah blah
                 end
               end
             end

Okay. Given that file tree, I want to "examine" all controllers in app/
controllers/, so that I can produce something like this:
{ 'store' => {
               'items' => [
                            'index'
                          ]
             },
  'manage' => {
                'items' => [
                             'show',
                             'save'
                           ]
              }
}

Do you know what I mean?

Cheers,
Daniel :)
