try:

require 'sub/require_me'

I usually do something like this:

$app_dir = File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..'))
$:.unshift($app_dir)


Assuming a layout like this:

bin/
   launcher  (<- here's where the above goes)
lib/
   a.rb
   b.rb

That way I know I can consistently use:

require 'lib/b'

from anywhere in the app.
