Maybe it's because (I assume) this is a paired-down example, but in
the example class Whee1 is in the scope of module Foo, and so is
module Bar, but module Bar isn't in the scope of class Foo::Whee2, so
you have to include it as qualified Foo::Bar. It doesn't look like
module Bar is lexically scoped to class Foo.
