Doesn't this only differ in which window has focus while you're marking 
and pasting?  Unless I'm missing something, you:
1. gvim ruby1.rb
2. :split other.rb
3. mark the region in other.rb
4. y
5. C-w l to switch back to ruby1.rb
6. p :w

Which is exactly what you just described, with other.rb and ruby1.rb 
switched in steps 3 and 5.  Did I miss something?
