Perhaps this will do:

<code>
module MyModule
    def my_method
       "my module rocks!"
    end
end

class MyClass
    include MyModule
    alias module_method my_method
    def my_method
       "#{module_method}\nmy class rocks!"
    end
end

puts MyClass.new.my_method
</code>

<result>
my module rocks!
my class rocks!
</result>
