As far as I understand the situation (maybe I don't), this has nothing 
to do with the scope of the variables used.
The notion of a 'settings file', as used in other languages like Java, 
is quite alien to Ruby. In Ruby, the configurations stuff is code, too 
(a typical example of this is config/environment.rb in Rails).

Yeah for sure. We would need a more detailed description of the problem 
to come up with a solution, though.
