Subject: Scripts run using load in "for" loop run out of order

Hi
I am new to ruby and like it so far.

I have an existing test harness to plug into and need to run a number of
scripts in a specific order.
I am using load in a "for loop" to run them. Unfortunately the scripts
get run out of order.

Below is my main script and my other scripts follow.

Files are:
test.rb
Tests/A-test.rb
Tests/B-test.rb
Tests/C-test.rb
Tests/D-test.rb

To simplify the question, I have created an array of the scripts I need
to run in the required order. But the output shows that the scripts run
in the following order D-test.rb, A-test.rb, C-test.rb and then
B-test.rb.

Somehow A gets run before C.

Is there any way to run the scripts in the correct order? And how come
it loops through the puts first and then the load?

Thanks in advance
